Pre-Conference Workshop A - Sunday, 8 June 2008

Fraud Deterrence As A Complement To Detection And Remediation

Workshop Timing: Registration will commence at 8:00. The workshop will begin at 8:30 with refreshments being served at appropriate intervals. The workshop will conclude at 14:30, after which lunch will be served.

Introduction
It is not enough to merely react to fraud in your company. To survive in today’s business world, you must take a proactive approach to fraud management and deter it from even happening. i.e. it is much more effective and efficient to prevent funds from disappearing than to attempt to recover the funds once they have already gone. Hosted by a leading mind in fraud deterrence, this fully interactive, in-depth workshop will provide you with the tools to tackle fraud in your organisation before it even happens.

Workshop Highlights:
• While the hope would always be that an antifraud culture strategy would succeed in
  preventing incidences of fraud, learn how the very existence of the strategy acts as a
  deterrent in itself
• Reduce the opportunities to commit fraud while increasing the likelihood of perpetrators
  being caught
• Appreciate that no organisation is immune to fraud and it is not merely a random
  occurrence, but that it arises as and when the environment allows for its presence
• Rather than simply detect and/or react to fraud, develop a proactive policy and strategy
  to deter fraud by eliminating opportunities for it to occur
• Conduct in depth reviews of internal and external gaps in business processes and
  susceptibilities and close these gaps in order to effectively limit fraud possibilities
• Discover why closing the door before the horse has bolted is a better policy and
  strategy than looking for subsequent fraud detection and remediation
• Explore all aspects of implementing a corporate policy and strategy for fraud deterrence
  in order to develop an effective anti-fraud cultural environment in this one day Masterclass
