Day to Day
The first thing I do when I get to work is start my computer. I ensure that all my computer programs are running smoothly. Then I check my email for any updates or changes that could possibly affect my work. Finally, I begin to work on fraud cases. I determine the likelihood of fraud by analyzing spending patterns and fraud trends. Any day where I am able to save my company and customers money due to fraud loss is a good day at work.
