Small businesses and nonprofits can receive free internal control risk assessments from Justice for Fraud Victims (JFV) at the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business.
The group launched in 2023 as a collaboration of UMD Smith and the Prince George's County Financial Crimes Unit and State's Attorney's Office. The program engages students in investigating financial fraud – including against members of vulnerable populations — with local law enforcement officers.
The program further involves forensic accounting in investigating real-life cases of fraud and analyzing evidence from grand jury-subpoenaed documents. The students also receive assistance from UMD faculty and oversight of Certified Fraud Examiners, as well as other professionals. Source:PR Newswire via Morningstar.com
