About the event:

Fraud is a problem confronting many organisations, police and regulatory agencies worldwide. The fact is that most corporate victims do not get their money back and fraudsters often escape unpunished. Outside the official law enforcement community there is little practical training to show what can be done to prevent fraud, what works and what doesn’t, and even this may overlook the opportunities available through the civil law and through the powers of persuasion. If tomorrow you were called upon to investigate a major fraud, what would you do, who would you do it with and what tools would you use? If you don’t already have a contingency plan in place, you are unlikely to succeed because the hard truth is that the majority of fraud cases are irreparably compromised within two hours of discovery. This happens mostly because the victim organisation panics or takes immediate action it later regrets. How do you optimise resources so that you can deal effectively with major fraud? By using the effective strategies and techniques described in this course you can effectively double your and your department’s efficiency without additional cost. IIR’s Investigating & Preventing Fraud course will cover the special problems of senior management fraud, false reporting, bribery and corruption, overseas investigations, asset tracing and recovery and, wherever possible will be adapted to suit the interests of participants. The examples will provide a framework to enable you to develop your own plans and tools and to adapt your thinking to that of a top international fraud investigator. The objective is to share experiences, mainly through exercises and real life examples and to gain the tools and knowledge necessary to resolve even the most complex cases.

The course will take you through investigating initial suspicions, to finding and utilising crucial evidence. It also includes the all-important steps needed to effect financial recoveries.

Who Should Attend?

This course has been developed for all professionals responsible for preventing fraud and protecting the interests of their organisations and working in the areas of finance, auditing, security, compliance, anti-fraud, anti-money laundering, risk, legal, accounting, contracts, IT, procurement and purchasing.
