Fraud in Government

It is more difficult to prevent fraud in a government entity, given the complexity of its operations. In the Fraud in Government course, we outline the reasons why fraud is such a problem in governments, and then discuss the different types of fraud that can occur, along with pertinent examples of actual fraud cases. We also make note of a variety of prevention techniques that can be used to reduce the level of fraud that governments tend to experience.
