Fraud Investigation, Prevention and Detection Masterclass

Why people commit fraud, how to detect it before it scales, and how to investigate it properly — forensics, data analytics, evidence and reporting.

Format

Classroom · Live Virtual

The programme

Fraud is now a serious concern for commercial and non-profit organisations alike — research by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners and Concordia University found over 10 percent of non-profit organisations fall victim to occupational fraud. The organisations that survive it are the ones that embedded anti-fraud procedures before the loss, not after. This programme covers why people commit fraud, how to identify fraud risks, and how to establish an anti-fraud culture and organisation-wide fraud awareness. The cohort then works through building a robust fraud risk management programme — detection of large-value frauds, data analytics, computer-based forensics, and investigations that end in evidence and reports decision-makers can act on.

What you will do

Build a fraud risk management programme with anti-fraud initiatives integrated into it, not bolted on.
Profile the fraudster and the fraud, identifying the fraud risks specific to your organisation.
Detect large-value frauds early, using data analytics and computer-based forensics.
Run an investigation with a defined purpose, applying forensic auditing techniques that withstand scrutiny.
Present evidence and write investigation reports that decision-makers can act on.
Establish an anti-fraud culture and fraud awareness across the organisation.

Who attends

  • Heads of regulatory compliance and heads of legal
  • Internal and external auditors
  • Accountants and finance leadership
  • CXOs accountable for fraud risk

Cohorts bring together board members, executives and the rising leaders behind them — kept deliberately small, so every seat is a peer’s.

Frequently asked

Will these programmes prepare our team for supervisory review?

That is what they are built for. Casework is structured around the evidence supervisors request — risk-appetite articulation, documentation, attestation — and participants leave able to assemble the evidence trail before it is asked for and defend the framework in examination. Faculty include practitioners who have sat on the supervisor’s side of the table.

Which risk frameworks does the curriculum cover?

The risk and compliance curriculum spans enterprise risk management on the COSO framework, credit, market, liquidity and operational risk, IFRS 9 provisioning, stress testing, and financial-crime disciplines including fraud detection and AML/CFT. Each programme page states the frames it works in and what participants will build with them.

Can we attend in French?

Yes. BIZENIUS delivers in English and French, in classroom, live virtual and hybrid formats. French-language cohorts serve institutions across BCEAO jurisdictions and other francophone markets.

What happens after we enquire about a programme?

A senior practitioner replies within one business day with the brochure attached. The conversation then covers dates, format, any tailoring your institution needs, and the fee — BIZENIUS shares fees in that proposal, not on a public price list.
