Course Content
Section 1: Introduction to Fraud Risk Management
This section begins by introducing the concept of fraud from both a business and compliance perspective. It explores the fraud triangle (pressure, opportunity, and rationalization) and explains why fraud can persist even in well-managed organizations. The focus is on understanding the organizational and individual responsibilities in preventing fraud, with an emphasis on the impact of fraud on businesses operating, particularly in highly regulated sectors such as banking and finance.
Section 2: Internal and External Fraud
In this section, employees learn to identify and address both internal (occupational) and external fraud risks. This includes a detailed look at common examples such as payroll fraud, falsified expense reports, and vendor fraud, alongside risks such as phishing, business email compromise, and fake invoicing. Real world case studies highlight the overlap between internal and external fraud, demonstrating how layered controls can be implemented to minimize these risks effectively.
Section 3: Prevention, Detection, and Reporting Fraud
Here, employees learn critical fraud prevention measures, such as segregation of duties, approval workflows, regular audits, and background checks. This section also discusses fraud detection techniques, including monitoring tools, exception reporting, and identifying red flags. It underscores the importance of having a clear process for reporting suspected fraud, while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements, particularly in the financial sector. Employees also gain insight into how to protect whistle blowers and maintain confidentiality in line with local laws.
Section 4: Fostering a Culture of Integrity
Building a strong culture of integrity within the organization is a key aspect of fraud prevention. This section focuses on promoting ethical behavior, transparency, and accountability across all levels of the organization. It emphasizes the role each employee plays in identifying and reporting fraud early, helping to maintain the integrity of business operations and minimize reputational and financial risks. Employees will understand how fostering a culture of integrity contributes to the long-term success and compliance.
Section 5: Summary and Assessment
