Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

 Accounting, business, and criminal  justice students in colleges and universities are graduating unprepared  for the “real world,” because few are receiving any fraud examination  training. Consequently, when they stumble upon fraud in the workplace,  they do not know what to do.
 
 Occupational fraud and abuse costs organizations billions of dollars  annually; higher-education business and criminal justice schools have a  responsibility to help stave off this horrendous dilemma. Fraud  examination and forensic accounting classes have to become part of the  academic curriculum.
