Inside the Fraudster's Mind
Basic
Workbook
Description
Understanding the thoughts and feelings of a fraudster can provide valuable insight to enhance an organization’s anti-fraud efforts. Knowing why fraudsters commit their crimes can help you learn how to prevent fraud by addressing the circumstances that lead to it. Gaining insight into the way perpetrators rationalize their actions can also help you deter others from forming similar rationalizations in the future. And possessing an understanding of the human element of fraud might give you an edge in gaining an admission during an interview.
This course takes an inside look at the fraudster’s mind, exploring psychological information that is key to the successful development of a fraud prevention and detection program. This course includes a 50-minute online video examining ten common critical thinking errors displayed by fraudsters and how they are manifested in convicted perpetrators. A DVD of this video can also be purchased individually.
