Practical tips on how to manage fraud risk

Fraud is a crime that threatens both an organisation’s profits and its reputation. These threats are increasing so that it is vital that fraud risks are managed effectively. Delegates will learn about the various types of fraud and the modern threat landscape, in particular the important and developing danger of cyber crime. They will also be made aware of the motives and behaviours of fraudsters to be able to spot behavioural red flags. A key part of developing an effective fraud risk management framework is awareness of controls that work in practice and delegates will be taken through the key preventative measures and detective techniques to fight fraud. The course is highly interactive throughout, with practical tips, case studies and lessons learned from a review of recent cases.
