By the time a client calls you about suspected fraud, the clock is already running: records can be altered, evidence can vanish, and every day of delay weakens your case. If your practice touches QuickBooks Online, you need to know how to move fast and correctly. This course walks you through exactly that, from scoping the engagement and preserving the file before anything changes, to gaining access when someone tries to block you. You'll master the Audit Log to recover deleted and voided transactions, examine reconciliation history and bank feeds for tampering, and use Reclass to isolate suspicious activity - the same techniques a trained investigator relies on. You'll also learn to cross-match vendors and employees for shell-vendor and ghost-employee schemes, trace lapping on the revenue side, and spot the AP red flags that confirm what you suspected all along This event may be a rebroadcast of a live event and the instructor will be available to answer your questions during the event.
