Most fraud investigations fail not at detection but at evidence — documentation that cannot stand legal scrutiny, and reports that bury the facts. This masterclass combines fraud accounting with digital forensics: the nature of financial fraud, how to detect fraudulent activity, and how to investigate any type of financial fraud, including the avenues of computer-based investigation. The training focuses on audit techniques, fraud detection techniques, accounting and law, the practical audit and investigation of frauds, the collection of evidence and documentation that survives the courtroom, and succinct, factual report writing. Case studies drawn from real-world frauds show how investigative techniques nail the fraudster and determine the extent and exact nature of the fraud.

Frequently asked
What does the fraud masterclass actually teach?
It combines fraud accounting with digital forensics: the nature of financial fraud, how to detect fraudulent activity, and how to investigate any type of financial fraud, including the avenues of computer-based investigation. The focus is on audit techniques, accounting and law, the collection of evidence and documentation that survives the courtroom, and succinct, factual report writing.
Does the training use real fraud cases?
Yes. Case studies drawn from real-world frauds show how investigative techniques identify the fraudster and determine the extent and exact nature of the fraud. The premise of the programme is that most investigations fail not at detection but at evidence — so the case work concentrates on documentation that stands legal scrutiny and reports that surface the facts.
Who should attend, and is the programme available in French?
It is designed for CXOs and chief internal auditors, heads of internal audit, risk and regulatory compliance, heads of legal and chief security officers, and accountants and internal and external auditors. BIZENIUS delivers the masterclass in English and French, with in-house editions tailored on request; sessions run on a rolling calendar with dates confirmed on request, and fees are provided on enquiry.
Who teaches this
Practitioners, not presenters.
Led by practitioners who hold, or have held, the seats this programme prepares you for: group treasurers and heads of asset–liability management, chief risk officers, heads of credit and capital management, and former central-bank supervisors who examined the very frameworks they now teach. Between cohorts the same people advise banks on those frameworks, so what you learn is what is being defended in front of boards and regulators today.
What the bench brings
- Risk-based AML/CFT programmes and systems
- KYC, client acceptance and sanctions screening
- Trade-based money laundering and fraud typologies
- MLRO responsibilities and senior accountability
- Independent AML audits and regulator inspections
- Certified AML specialist training
Where they have practised
Current and former practitioners — people who hold the seat today alongside those who have held it.
Sectors: Banking & financial services · Professional services · Central banking & supervision
Regions: Africa · the Middle East · Europe · Asia · the Americas
How they teach
- Live case studies from real institutions
- Worked exercises on realistic bank data
- Regulator-style challenge sessions
- Group problem-solving on realistic institutional cases
- Knowledge checks and a personal action plan
Cohorts are kept small so every exercise is worked on the participants’ own situations — in person or live virtual.
