Dear Raquel, Thank you for your prompt post and information.
You shared some great resources from the ACFE. Remember to
properly credit your sources with intext citations and the full
reference at the end. URLs are not full references and I only
noticed one citation. The Student Success Center has some great
resources for your writing & APA. I look forward to your enhanced
work. Best, Dr. Deb
The ACFE Web site, as known as the Association of Certified Fraud
Examiners has many resources, tips, and tricks. One the website,
they have a specific tab for fraud resources. On this tab, auditors
are able to search by a topic for learning to investigate, how to
prevent certain items, etc. For example, auditors are able to go to
the resources tab, click on tips and tricks and find articles on how
to detect fraud, how to detect deception, etc. A great article title
Fraud Brainstorming offers information on things to look out when
conducting an audit. Another example on how auditors could use
the website is to click on the training tab. Here you can find
multiple trainings. Most are for purchase, and offer CPE credits.
