​Corruption and fraud affects us all, wherever we are in the world, and it should not be taken lightly. While defending against fraud and corruption is everyone’s responsibility this workshop agenda has been specifically tailored for “fraud and corruption champions” such as investigators, internal auditors, controllers, forensic auditors and key individuals in the management team in any organisation.
The objectives of this workshop will be to:
  • Reinforce the importance of raising awareness of the effects and costs of fraud and corruption and how instil an active anti-fraud and corruption culture across the organization
  • Understand where the risks and costs of fraud and corruption are most significant
  • Appreciate the power of techniques which can be used to detect red flags at an early stage, and discuss how to implement these techniques as well as follow up on the red flags
The training program will be highly interactive and will include discussion sessions, realistic and real cases, group-work and short dramatic episodes. The overall goal of the workshop will be to provide relevant and useful input and tools on how to prevent and detect indicators of potential inappropriate behaviour as well as include this into the organizations forthcoming anti-fraud and corruption activities.
