IRS special agents to teach MBA students about tax fraud
The IRS educational program, called the "Adrian Project," offers students a real-world experience in forensic accounting and introduces them to career opportunities in criminal fraud investigation.
Working in groups, students in Professor Meyer Drucker's graduate tax accounting class, as well as other CCU business students, will be assigned hypothetical fraud cases. Under the instruction of IRS investigators, the students will investigate the crimes using forensic accounting methods. Hypothetical investigations include tax fraud, embezzlement, drug trafficking and other crime scenarios-one of which will involve a professor being handcuffed and arrested by students. The different groups will gather evidence and build their cases before giving a final briefing in the last hour of the program.
