The basic knowledge is there but analytical portion is not covered greatly. This course help on clearing your perception regarding the forensic field & it gives you some command over few terms that are used in forensic department.

Course was very high level. More about historical examples of fraud and what forensic accounting and fraud examination as a topic is. Very introductory and not very useful if you come into this course with any knowledge.

You need to supply appropriate study material & web-site links. You need to be savvy searching for supporting material to understand certain topics & definitions.

Although the topics discussed are interesting, the topics taught many a times do not have a correlation with the questions framed in the quizzes.

The course describes about the overall view of the subject. You have to go far long to gain practical knowledge... Its a more general course

Interesting, but I was hoping for something more detailed, technical, and in depth. This was really an intro class

The course is Awesome but the quiz is nerve recking took me almost 2 days to complete to keep redoing the quiz

Pretty good but not reach enough. it does not offer any practical quantitative methods to catch frauds.

1. Should make the course a little more detailed.

2. Should provide more material for the course.

Good for those who want's to have a basic knowledge of forensic accounting and fraud examination.

The course was neither thoroughly explained nor practically taught. Very disappointed!!

This is good as a beginner's course only, does not go into details on advanced topics

Has some solid information but is really lacking without the accompanying text.

Se siente como un infocomercial. It feels like a commercial.

Can be more diagrammatically represented

It was fantastic and helpful course

Good introduction into the Topic.

very well structured

Kinda superficial...

Lectures are excellent -- clear presentation from three professors with great sound -- easy to understand. Video of interviews from people who are convicted of fraud are fascinating. However, in an attempt to make the testing portion appropriately challenging and less open to cheating the multiple choice questions can be really obscure or oversimplified to the point of being wrong.

I'm disappointed in the online discussions -- NOT the fault of the course -- they seem to be improving their accounting knowledge while working full time and English is a second language so there isn't much posting, there's very little dialogue between students. I do appreciate Vincenzo Ferri's role as monitor -- it helps connect us.

Too qualitative, too much theory, narrative.

Needs more specific examples of how numbers are manipulated for e.g. in financial statement fraud. Perhaps show real data on how outlier transactions are spotted.

The course only provides a theoretical introduction, it would be good it courses introduce practical techniques and analysis methods, only then can they become truly useful for students.

Really, you can substitute the course with googling: "fraud motvation models", "benford's law" and "fraud demografics". That would be much faster and less tedious.

Plenty of useful information. However, the whole course was based mostly on theory with case studies, and did not offer any practical and/or technical skills.
