Continuing Professional Education for Audit, Assurance, & Info Security

Course Description

All organizations are subject to fraud risk. ACFE studies show that on average 5% of revenue is lost to internal fraud schemes within an organization. Creating fraud awareness in an organization and understanding how to properly identify and assess potential fraud risk will help an organization to develop an effective fraud program that can reduce the potential financial, reputation and organization risks that can be associated with fraud. The ability for an organization to prevent and detect fraud begins with fraud awareness – how it occurs, what the characteristics of fraudsters and what to do when fraud is suspected.

This class is designed to help individuals learn and develop the skills necessary to help drive, implement and execute an effective Fraud Awareness Training Program in their organization as part of an overall Fraud Prevention Program through the use of case studies, best practices and exercises with the class.
