Training Overview:

This is an on-line live virtual 8-CPE program, split into two 4-CPE sessions on back-to-back days for better participant energy and learning.

 

Topics include:

 Fraud Detection for Auditors

• Understand the three-steps needed on every audit project to surface hidden issues, including theft and fraud
• Discover why asking your boss about exactly what’s expected on each and every project is critical to building audit detection actions
• Recognize why emphasis on new ‘shiny red ball’ fraud issues can pull our attention away from the many recurring fraud risks that are always present
• Build an action checklist to plug the gaps between fraud detection expectations and action on each audit project

 

Fraud Cases & Lessons for Auditors

• Explore the details of real-world fraud cases – both newly discovered and very much still relevant from the recent past
• Discover the important red flags and indicators that were present
• Understand whether management and audit reacted appropriately to these warning signs (or not…)
• Identify changes we could make in daily audit and management behaviors to minimize the opportunity for similar events ‘on our watch’
