Programme Objective

The financial world has been rocked by financial scandals over the years: Enron (2001), WorldCom (2002), Freddie Mac (2003), AIG (2005), Lehman Brothers (2008), Bernie Madoff (2008), Olympus (2011), Toshiba (2015). Yet, the number of fraud cases continue to rise, with the latest cases in Luckin Coffee (2020) and Wirecard (2020) which are still evolving. Were there red flags? What are the responsibilities of finance professionals to identify these red flags? Can you recognise a red flag when you see one?
