Audit Unlocked

Easy Fraud Awareness

by Tina Maier, Associate Director University Audit

Being aware that fraud can and does happen is key in helping prevent occurrences of fraud. Slowly but surely through training and other initiatives, we are increasing fraud awareness and preventative measures to our university. To expand fraud awareness, University Audit offers Fraud Awareness Training (FAT) through WebCourses.

As part of our audit process, management and key staff of the area being audited are required to take FAT. The training consists of watching a video (about 30 minutes) and completing a survey and a five-question quiz. It’s an interesting watch and we’ve had positive feedback on the training from our audit clients.

As of May 2019, all new employees are required to take FAT along with other important training such as Information Security Awareness, UCF Employee Code of Conduct/Speak Up! Whistleblower Training and FERPA.

Consider taking this training opportunity to increase your fraud awareness and be a part of the university’s commitment to a safe and welcoming environment. Plus, it is a great way to fill any downtime you and or your employees may have while working remotely.
