Accounting students at Whitworth University in Spokane, Wash. got their chance to wear bulletproof vests and sport dummy guns all in the name of getting a taste of what its like to be IRS fraud investigators.
Students in the Occupational Fraud and Abuse class were the first in the Northwest to participate in the Adrian Project, an IRS campus recruiting program that shows accounting and business majors an alternative to typical accounting careers.

The students then were divided into groups, each investigating a mock crime scenario such as tax evasion, embezzlement or fraud.
