Local governments, especially smaller to medium-sized municipalities, are prime targets for both internal and external fraud schemes due to their often-limited oversight and resources.

During this course, you'll develop the skills to:

  • Recognize the features that render municipalities appealing targets for fraudsters.

  • Identify internal control vulnerabilities that increase municipalities' susceptibility to fraud.

  • Detect collusion with external entities aimed at executing fraudulent schemes.

  • Revise procurement practices and policies to mitigate fraud risks, fostering an environment of fair competition and reduced costs within the municipality.
