Lost the will to live
Whilst it covered the appropriate aspects, it was not focused on our services.
It would be good if the courses had a speed control like Youtube so you could ramp it up a bit. The delivery is a bit slow and one can tend to lose focus needed.
Useful training, a bit boring though.
The section paid no attention to the fundamental cause of fraud: unfair and impersonal treatment of staff by organisations. In these situations, staff justifiedly feel no loyalty to the organisation, so why would they not defraud it, and why would they not cover for each other? I think the fraud prevention section ought to have pointed this out -- that organisations that treat their staff fairly, have solid grievance procedures, are flexible about accommodating their particular needs, and make an effort to ensure that they are good places to work are much less likely to get defrauded.I also had some issues with the quiz. Question 4 ("if a manager gives you permission to forge his signature on a document, is this fraud?"). The "correct" answer was that it is fraud. In fact it is not. As Q9 correctly states it, fraud is about personal or financial gain. There is no personal or financial gain involved in this example. Moreover, the legal definition of a signature amounts pretty much to "anything the signing parties agree is a signature." So if the "forged" signature was challenged and the manager asserted that it is his signature, it wouldn't even be invalid.Overall the information was solid as usual, it just made me bring out the hammer and sickle big time. I really would not want to work somewhere that urged its employees to spy on each other like this course does.
Good high level overview but a huge range of employee fraud was conflated, and the cybercrime section felt a bit bolted on.
I will be more informed as I carry out my duties across the college, and more aware of fraudulent practices.
Although I found much of the training useful - I thought the combination of fraud, whistleblowing and cyber crime into one training module was confusing. Whistleblowing does not always relate to fraud and cyber crime is increasingly about data loss, but because these two topic were covered in a fraud module, this was not covered at all. As per my comment on the previous course, the lack of examples which were more relevant to the work of the Heritage Fund was also a drawback for many of our staff who will be taking the course, which will reduce the view from staff that the course has value. Hope this helps.
really perfect training am so interested to learn new things and ideas from this training sessions.
A well presented course. however, i do worry that if the majority of the points raised have to be pointed out to an employee they are probably unemployable.
