Training Course Overview

This Forensic Auditing training course is tailored for individuals looking to delve into one of the most significant and rapidly expanding sectors: fraud detection. Often invisible and poorly grasped, this risk incurred over 4 trillion dollars in global economic losses last year, as reported by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners.

Led by seasoned experts and enriched with compelling case studies, this course is structured to impart essential skills in developing robust fraud detection processes. Participants will explore cutting-edge tools and techniques, including leveraging big data and data analytics, to effectively uncover fraudulent activities.

This training course will feature:

  • How to identify the profiles of the different fraudsters
  • The anatomy of fraud and how to detect it
  • The 50 main fraud indicators
  • The power of data analytics
  • How to use powerful but relatively unknown tools such as Benford’s law and Markov chains

Training Course Objectives

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

  • Think like a fraudster – the only way to detect complex frauds
  • Understand the techniques of data mining as a fraud detection tool
  • Appreciate the key aspects of fraud profiling
  • Use continuous auditing and continuous monitoring to uncover unusual patterns
  • Understand when it seems ‘too good to be true’ it usually will be

  • Fraud specialists who need more appreciation of how to detect fraud
  • Certified Fraud Examiners
  • Accountants who need an understanding of forensics

This dynamic training course will utilise a variety of proven learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. This includes various exercises and case studies to provide practical application of the tools and techniques. A series of valuable tools and templates will be provided in electronic format – to take away and use immediately.
