Fraud can occur in any sector, and it is important that employers and workers alike understand the technicalities and practical implications involved. However, most people overlook the human element of fraudulent activity, despite the fact that understanding the psychology of fraud can help prevent it happening in the first place.
This course explains why some people commit fraud, how they rationalise their own actions, and the motives underpinning criminal activity in general.
What you will learn:
- The traits and characteristics of individuals most likely to commit fraud
- Six reasons people commit fraud, and why otherwise law-abiding citizens may become fraudsters
- The six primary motives that drive people to commit crime
- The six most common rationales behind a decision to commit fraud, including the belief that “everyone else does it”
- How the Fraud Triangle helps law enforcement investigate fraud, and how psychological insight can help you understand the mindset behind it
This course is part of our Business courses and complements our Accounting & Finance courses.
