ACCT 660 studies how information technology is used both to commit fraud and to find it, with Nigrini's Forensic Analytics as the core text. The samples below follow its forums on journal entry analytics, system access, business email compromise and machine learning, and its two-part research project on the collapse of FTX, from the case background to a plan for detecting and investigating it.

What ACCT 660 covers

The course reads Nigrini's Forensic Analytics at a pace of two to four chapters a module/week, and students keep a reading outline of at least one double-spaced page per chapter, submitted twice, in Modules/Weeks 3 and 8.

Each forum asks for a thread of at least 750 words with three or more scholarly references, then replies of 250 words to two classmates with at least two references each. The research project's Part 1 and Part 2 are each at least 2,000 words with at least five resources.

Where ACCT 660 papers lose points

ACCT 660 work loses points when threads fall short of 750 words or lean on fewer than three scholarly references, when replies run under 250 words or cite one source instead of two, when Part 1 picks a fraud older than ten years or one in which technology played no part, and when Part 2 lists generic controls instead of explaining how the specific fraud could have been detected.

Using a ACCT 660 sample well

The forum samples draw on research about digital analysis of accounting data, access controls in enterprise systems, phishing and business email compromise, and machine learning models of misstatement; the project samples use court records, regulator complaints and bankruptcy filings on FTX.
