Course Overview

In recent times the spotlight has been firmly fixed on fraud and economic crime. It is viewed as a niche area which for all intent and purpose provides perpetrators with lesser risk for more reward as it is generally viewed as a move away from traditional everyday commission of ordinary crime. It is often said that the Irish approach to such offending has been lethargic.
