Course Overview

The audit trail behind financial fraud detection and investigation matters as much as the decision itself. Growth built on poorly controlled detection and investigation reverses faster than it accumulated. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of the wider financial and banking practice agenda is examined, not just described. Organisations that document financial fraud detection and investigation properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. Plans for this area of financial and banking practice often fail at the handover point between functions. Participants leave with a method for detection and investigation, not a set of opinions about it. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for financial fraud detection and investigation. They leave able to brief senior management on detection and investigation in terms that support a decision. Work concludes with a self-assessment of the wider financial and banking practice agenda that participants can repeat annually.
