Course Description

The success and survival of any organization are dependent on its strong governance structure, compliance culture, internal controls, and related systems and processes. An organization is given strategic direction by the board of directors and senior management to achieve its desired objectives — maximizing shareholders' wealth.

To achieve objectives and goals, organizations need resources, including employees. The employees form part of a different hierarchical ladder, such as senior management, middle management, and lower management. These employees are required to follow policies and procedures and be provided with various physical resources to run the company's affairs. Amongst employees, but also from outside of the company, there can be criminals or fraudsters who utilize the organization's resources for their benefit. These acts are considered fraud.

Fraud investigations aim to uncover what behaviours occurred, by whom and how. If you conduct a poor investigation, you’re not only at risk of failing to recover losses. You could also face reputation damage, legal fees or fines. Use this guide to ensure your fraud investigations are thorough, timely, accurate and compliant.

In this Certificate Program, you will acquire relevant knowledge about organizational fraud detection as well as fraud investigation. In addition, you will learn to understand fraud, types of frauds, fraud deterrence, detection, fraud investigations process, fraud investigation conclusion, and fraud investigation reporting.

This Certificate Program is designed for professionals working in organizational units that frequently deal with fraudulent activities, including (fraud) risk management, (fraud) investigations, internal controls, operational risk, internal audit, and compliance.
