Overview

The risk of fraud is ever increasing in all businesses and internal audit can be a valuable preventative control to help combat fraud.

This course will explore the different roles that Internal Audit could take in the ongoing fight against fraud ranging from the more traditional role (incorporating work as part of the annual audit plan) to branching to a more proactive role, providing fraud awareness to staff and doing proactive fraud reviews.

Topics covered on this course will include

• What should Internal Audit do as a minimum?
• Anti fraud and corruption policies and strategy
• Helping to raise ‘Fraud awareness’ in the organisation
