Corporate Fraud Prevention and Detection
 (2 days; 16 CPE Hours)

Learn the Principles of Fraud Examination.

Get a broad understanding of the field of Fraud Examination — from what fraud is, to how it is committed, detected, and deterred.  Coverage begins with an explanation of fraud examination methodology, followed by detailed examination of the most prevalent fraud schemes used by employees, owners, managers, and executives.

What you will learn.

The course is based on the three main categories of occupational fraud and abuse (asset misappropriation, corruption, and fraudulent statements) and 13 principal schemes, as identified by the Report to the Nation on Occupational Fraud and Abuse.

Modules explain the major schemes and provide relevant statistics on cost and frequency, as well as the perpetrators and victims of these crimes. Each scheme is illustrated with several real-life cases. The course clearly outlines prevention, detection and investigation strategies. Essential terms, questions, and discussion issues help students understand and retain the material.  Not to be confused with forensic accounting instruction, this course is designed for a broad corporate management audience.  While course highlights are described below, the class is exhaustively described in CIS’ separate detailed course outline.  Course modules include:

þ   Skimming

þ   Cash Larceny

þ   Billing Schemes

þ   Check Tampering

þ   Payroll Schemes

þ   Expense Reimbursement Schemes

þ   Register Theft Disbursement Schemes

þ   Theft of Non-Cash Assets

þ   Corruption and Collusion

þ   Common Accounting and Transaction Fraud

þ   Fraudulent Financial Statement Schemes

þ   Interviewing Witnesses

Based upon courseware endorsed by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, this course provides the understanding and the tools you need to prevent and detect internal (occupational) fraud within your organization.
