On the development, Dr. Tapan Panda (Dean, School of Management) said, “I am confident our new MBA programme will help in building a proficient army of professionals who can combat corporate fraud at every level. The course will impart skills scientifically, but also in a manner that prepares students for the dynamic challenges of the industry, is this area. The focus is on relevance, and actual work skills, which is what makes the course invaluable for corporate fraud investigation aspirants.”
The programme structure includes core courses, which help students grasp theory and business fundamentals; skill courses that allow students to acquire a range of life skills needed to be successful at the workplace - such as communication and presentation, leadership; perspective courses that help students see the larger picture, contextualise problems, and acquire a better understanding of the core; and elective courses which give students the freedom to explore and develop expertise in subjects that interest them.
