The
Center for the Study of Business Ethics, Regulation, & Crime (C-BERC) at
the University of Maryland is pleased to announce a new Graduate Certificate, a
12-credit online program that provides training and knowledge in the
interdisciplinary fields of business law, ethics, criminology, and accounting.
C-BERC is a joint effort between the Robert H. Smith School of Business and the
College of Behavioral and Social Science.
The
Certificate in Risk, Compliance, and the Law (GC-Risk) focuses on forensic
audit investigations, software utilization as applied to discerning potentially
fraudulent activity, and a detailed understanding of businesses’ legal
obligations and the origin and consequences of non-compliance. Graduates will
be able to understand and effectively implement the latest developments in
empirically supported compliance strategies, investigation and audit
practices—including the use of sophisticated software packages and statistical
analysis to identify reporting and data aberrations. They will also learn about
corporate ethical and legal obligations, both domestically and internationally;
strategies to meet and maintain compliance; how to conduct investigations and
attorney-client privilege.
The
online learning environment benefits working professionals with flexibility,
convenience, and accessibility. GC-Risk can be completed in as little as 12
months while minimally disrupting personal and professional life. Registration
now open. For application information, go to go.umd.edu/gcrisk
