Help With a Student Survey!

This survey is part of my undergraduate studies at Concordia College, MN.  The purpose of this study is to determine how financial crime is understood by management in small business firms and what array of tools or other resources are available and allocated to mitigate fraudulent activities.  This survey is completely anonymous and will take between 10 to 15 minutes.
