Educating millennials and Generation Z

One of my students recently asked me: "What is a canceled check? How can I use one in a fraud examination?"

Many college students have never written checks and use digital apps to pay for goods and services. These questions reflect the impact that younger generations will have on fraud examinations and investigations.

Higher education must keep pace with changes in the world, and anti-fraud educators are no exceptions. While much has been written about changing delivery of courses and new ways of learning for millennials and Generation Z, actually altering traditional methods has been a slow process.
