Course overview

Organisations rely on accurate financial data to plan their operations and communicate their results. When fraud occurs, it drains resources and undermines management's ability to make decisions. This course explains how white-collar crime happens, how to spot it early, and how to build internal controls that stop it from occurring in the first place.

The programme begins by exploring the psychology of criminal behaviour and the fraud triangle. Delegates look at specific schemes, including asset misappropriation, identity theft, and financial statement manipulation. They then examine management's responsibility for fraud deterrence. This involves conducting risk assessments and implementing strong corporate governance frameworks.

The final days cover the mechanics of a fraud examination. Delegates learn the ways to trace illicit transactions, analyse suspicious documents, and conduct interviews. The course also reviews the legal system governing fraud, covering the principles of evidence, the rights of individuals under examination, and the laws surrounding money laundering and bankruptcy fraud.
