Student clubs and sports often struggle to raise funds. With limited revenue streams, coaches or advisors and parents routinely find themselves managing candy sales, car washes, raffles, and ticketed fundraisers to support programming.

With Cressey’s fraud triangle as a backdrop, readers learn to deter and prevent financial mismanagement and fraud through the development of internal operating procedures and oversight.
