This exciting two-day course is designed to offer members of staff and management key insights into current best practice and processes in compliance, risk and fraud management.

Fraud in most organisations represents a loss of resources. As it is always a negative factor in their activity, its tendency to grow and the staunch competitiveness in which companies operate make fraud particularly serious. It is very easy for a company to lose its image and the confidence of the market, but it extremely difficult to recover them.

The environment and society are becoming increasingly sensitive to fraud, but the reality is that it is on the increase very fast. There is a growing need for training in Risk compliance and Fraud Management by all those who are involved in related activities.

While eliminating fraud is infeasible, a risk-based approach can help organisations both prevent fraud and detect it earlier.

This training is an essential prerequisite to any organization’s risk management, governance and compliance initiatives. Ensuring that employees understand and adhere to the laws, regulations and internal corporate policies that apply to their daily roles is essential to ensuring that compliance regulations are met in the workplace. Many legal problems originate from employees acting improperly out of ignorance, misunderstanding, or a blatant disrespect of the laws, regulations, and policies that govern their daily job responsibilities. Many of these problems can be avoided — or at least mitigated — through this training.
