Risk, Compliance and AMLFraud Risk Management and Prevention Programmes
Organisations respond to fraud after it is discovered and then invest in detection, when the cheapest intervention is designing the opportunity out of the process in the first place. This course covers prevention as a programme. Delegates work through fraud risk assessment across the business, the schemes that actually occur by function including procurement, payroll, expenses, revenue and financial reporting, and the conditions that allow each. Preventive control design is the core of the course, including segregation, authorisation and the controls that survive contact with an understaffed department. Detection through analytics and reporting channels follows. Response planning and the decision whether to prosecute are covered. The course closes on culture, tone and measuring whether a programme is working.
