Fraud gets more sophisticated as economies do, and the syndicates behind it invest in the latest technology faster than most audit functions can respond — auditors are usually catching up. This programme aims to put you ahead, or at least level, in fraud detection and investigation methodology before major harm reaches the organisation. The cohort works inside the fraudster’s mindset — how processes are exploited, how networks are used — through actual cases showing how the crimes were perpetrated and eventually caught. The method is hands-on casework: walking the investigative life cycle, weighing the available approaches, and documenting and reporting the investigation properly.

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.
