Dear Ricardo A. VanEgas,
Congratulations on completing the Five Module MOOC titled: Forensic
Accounting and Fraud Examination FAFE.
A few words of wisdom from thought leaders across time relevant to
our adventures in FAFE.
Confucius: "To see the see the right and not to do it is cowardice."
Edmund Burke, an 18th century Irish philosopher: "The only thing
necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
Sophocles, the ancient Greek playwright: "Things gained through
unjust fraud are never secure."
Samuel Johnson, English poet, critic, and writer: "Fraud and
falsehood only dread examination. Truth invites it. "
Benjamin Franklin: "Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom."
Thomas Jefferson: "In matters of style, swim with the current; In
matters of principle, stand like a rock .… The price of freedom is
eternal vigilance."
We have spent several weeks with you and hopefully exposed you to
the: who, what, where and how of fraud. Best of luck with your own anti­
fraud efforts. We hope you enjoyed the forensic and fraud related
content, and that you have added a few new skills for your toolbox.
