Excellent course! Really great overview on Forensic Accounting and Fraud Examination. I enjoyed it every bit as much as I thought that I would. The information was clear and very informative. A few things though, I do agree with other learners that the example cases were a bit outdated and would benefit by being updated. They are still relevant examples, so they do serve their purpose. However, the transcripts for downloading are rife with all sorts of typos, so it would be super if that could be checked and cleaned up, especially for such a course. Other than that, the Instructors were wonderful and made this course very engaging. Nicely done.

Before starting this course , I had an obscure idea regarding forensic accounting . But after succesful completion of this course , now I can organize my ideas regarding forensic accounting , nature of frauds , characteristics of a fraudster and fraud examination . So the course structure is excellent and the instructors are exceptionally qualified and capable and the assignments are thought provoking and challenging . So , as a finance professional , I recommend this course to every fellow professionals and managers , Thank you very much COURSERA and West Virginia University for offering this wonderful course.

Course was conducted in a very professional manner and as an already Professional Chartered Accountant,I am able RATE this Course as one of the Best at par with Industry Standards.I was able to Complete the Course well in time within Three Weeks with dedicated and committed followup with Video Coverage and special Thanks to Mr.Richard Riley,Mr,Richard Dull and Mr.John.Thank You very much.Also while doing this Course,I have developed a Self Motivation to Write a Personal Blog Titled : WHISTLE BLOWING,ARE YOU READY, which is available at https://catchandcater.wordpress.com/2021/03/09/whistle-blowing-are-you-ready/

i am giving this course a 5 star for these following reasons;it enabled me to have a better understanding of the mindset of fraudsters,their reasons for commiting fraud and various manipulative means with which they can prey on individuals and organisations.

Also, i gained a lot by reading other valuable materials relating to this course to increasae my knowkedge bandwidth.

Furthermore, it enabled me to know the areas that can give warning signals in order to b e prepared to handle an type of fraud or anomalies that may come up while working in any corporate organisation or owning a private business.

The course was designed in a very intelligent and eloquent way--that is, it was designed in a way which pertains to the fact how does a criminal or fraudster think and above all how we can catch them given the resources that we have especially with the help of "Big data" and its tools such as data analysis or text analysis. One distinguishing feature of this course which i liked the most was that it was blend of so many things--accounting, fraud examination, forensic accounting, and data analysis--hence it was less monotonous and more engaging.

The course was very valuable to me and the tests and final exams were up to the level. However, even after passing all tests/ quizzes and the long final exams (60 questions), no certificate is provided. I am an employee working at an accounting firm following this course for the purpose of my employment and not for personal interest and this course is free but the certification is not. Would therefore request that a certificate of completion is provided after having passed the final examination. Many thanks in advance. Kind regards. Kiran

I like every part of this course, it's one of the courses that gets me excited and it did not disappoint. Auditing has always been my favorite subject in college and an Auditor is all I have aspired to be. I was so excited to have come across this course and I immediately jumped at the opportunity. The lecturers made it so exciting to learn, the delivery was impeccable, with real life cases, I enjoyed it. Thanks to the lectures - Dr. Richard Riley, Ph.D, Dr. Richard Dull, Ph.D and John Gill, J.D., CFE, you did a good job!

Quite a difficult online course especially for someone like me with the most basic knowledge in finance and accounting. But as a graft investigation officer and researcher at the Office of the Ombudsman in the Philippines, it was all worth it. It definitely enhanced my knowledge and skills in detecting fraud and corruption both in the public and private sectors of society. Hoping Coursera would develop other related courses for our continuous upscaling. Many thanks to everyone at Coursera and the West Virginia University!

This is a very good foundational course in Forensic Accounting and Fraud Examination. Though it would not make you ready for CFE exam, it still provides more interesting and useful information for more advance understanding of fraud, fraud investigation, and mitigation than do most other courses and source of introductory information available. I would definitely recommend it to my peers as a source of more in depth understanding of the area when they struggle with understanding of some of the concepts.

This is one of the best courses in Forensic Accounting. Though I am a person with an engineering background, it was very motivating. The course by itself is not self sufficient. It covers the major topics peripherally and acts as a beacon to start expanding knowledge through self study. The exams are a bit tough and well structured to stimulate reasoning. Overall, an excellent course for beginners in Forensic Accounting, especially with different background other than commerce and accounting.

Im really proud of myself for learning and earning such a valuable certificate, finally I found my passion, and certainly ill seek more learning opportunities regarding such a great profession in my future career, many thanks and appreciation to all of my professors. you are all incredible and honest men and it was such a pleasure being taught by you and honestly im lucky for that, i bear much respect for you all, thanks for your diligence and hardwork, wish the best for you all profs.

I started this course because I was intrigued by the title. But, watching each video and attempting each quiz made this much more interesting to me. The case studies were what captivated my interests. A huge thank you to all the professors in this course who explained each concept very well. I really enjoyed learning about forensic accounting and fraud examination. I am definitely sure that I will enhance my knowledge on this topic by visiting the websites mentioned here.

I have previously done two more courses in Coursera, likewise this was also one of a kind course I must say but on the other hand, this is my favourite course till date as it gave me a practical experience in this field and i am pretty sure that this knowledge will help in my practice as a company law enthusiast.

I will recommend one thing to change in this course. kindly include the right answer options too along with the explanation. it will be of great help.

This is one of the best course on fraud examination, In this course you learn about how fraudster thinks, how,when,where they commit fraud.

and at the end of every week you get to see the interview with person who commit frauds of million dollars.

When I enroll in this course thinking that it focused on financial statements like balance sheet and income statements but its not that , this course is focused on how the fraudster thinks and how they commit fraud .

This course was very effective as an introduction to a complex but important topic and for those more interested to encourage further learning on specialized courses. Well done to the three presenters and this course should stand the test of time as an introduction even though with each day the digital world advances and new global frauds appear with more technological and methods of deception. I would heartedly recommend this course to others.

I recommend taking this course if you're interested/eager to know how to detect a criminal having the extent to go far for their own personal selfish interest. The professors also gave very well-rounded tips and tackled a lot of topics about the types of fraud, the stages of money laundering, and the origin of how it started. Thank you for making this class fun and informative, and I appreciate all your efforts in sharing this with everyone.
