It examines fraud profiling, internal and external fraudster behaviour, identity fraud and corruption detection. Delegates review 15 real case studies and draw key lessons from genuine fraud scenarios. They also explore 50 key fraud indicators, vulnerability identification and forensic audit toolkit development within a cost-effective control environment balancing prevention and detection.

Data mining is presented as the principal forensic tool, including CAATs, Benford's Law, Monte Carlo simulations and Markov chains. The course also examines forensic auditing of big data through neural networks, fuzzy logic and association rules. Final topics cover the legal aspects of forensic data, investigation reporting, database integration and protocols for notifying external bodies. This provides delegates with a complete, end-to-end forensic capability.

Course Goals

What are the Goals?

This course in forensic accounting and fraud control aims to equip delegates with a practical command of fraud detection, forensic investigation methods, data analytics, and the legal and reporting frameworks governing the handling and communication of forensic findings.

  • Create a forensic audit toolkit: Assemble a cost-effective toolkit that balances fraud prevention with detection across different control environments.
  • Apply data mining methods: Employ CAATs, Benford's Law, Monte Carlo simulations, Markov chains, and big data forensic auditing to detect anomalies and patterns of fraud.
  • Apply advanced forensic methods: Use automated fraud detection, association rules, fuzzy logic, neural networks, and data visualisation to recognise patterns during forensic investigations.
  • Manage detected fraud correctly: Follow the appropriate legal, investigative, and reporting protocols when potential fraud is discovered, including how and when external bodies should be informed.
