Schuchter gehört zu den wenigen Wirtschaftswissenschaftlern, die sich ein profundes Weisskragentäter-Verständnis erarbeitet haben. Das ist essentiell für Prävention, Früherkennung und für das "Immunsystem", um wirtschaftliche Strukturen effizient zu schützen.
Thomas KnechtDr., Forensic Psychiatrist & Chief Physician @ Psychiatric Centre Appenzell Ausserrhoden
I've known Alex for over 10 years. He understands very well the mindset of those who misbehave. He also recognizes rare patterns. This ability is a great benefit for companies – not only for prevention but also for detection.

Die Fraud-Schulungen von Alexander Schuchter waren für mich sehr bereichernd. Das Seminar war praxisnah, kurzweilig und kann sehr gut auf die Arbeit der Internen Revision oder Compliance übertragen werden. Ich freue mich auf weitere Vertiefungen!
