Internal Fraud Strategy Essentials
Internal fraud is a threat to every organisation. A rogue employee can cause significant damage, with financial, reputational, and legal consequences to consider – including the impact on staff morale and retention. Internal Fraud Strategy Essentials provides you with the essential information and skills you need to build the foundations of a strong defence against the threat and those who perpetrate it.
Engaging and interactive, combining tutor-led teaching with collaborative group working, pop-up surveys and open discussion, this one-day course starts with the fundamentals – what is internal fraud, and why is combatting it a priority? – before moving on to key elements to consider including stakeholder engagement, identifying gaps in your controls, and how to de-brief after an incident. Best practice and cases studies will bring the subject to life , and you’ll leave with practical ‘top tips’ that you can share and a new or renewed confidence in your ability to face and tackle the threat.
Some of the reasons learners take this course include:
“I want to learn more about the strategy aspect of internal fraud”
“I want to know whether our current strategy is sufficient, or if we have gaps we need to plug”
“I have just secured my first HR role and want to start building my knowledge and skills”
“I’ve been tasked with writing a policy document on internal security and risk, and need help”
