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
How is the training delivered — lectures or casework?
The method is hands-on casework. The cohort works inside the fraudster’s mindset — how processes are exploited and how networks are used — through actual cases showing how the crimes were perpetrated and how the perpetrators were eventually caught, then walks the investigative life cycle from first suspicion to documented, reported closure.
Is the programme only for internal auditors?
No. While built around the internal audit perspective, the programme also serves external auditors, bank credit and risk management teams, operational controllers and risk officers, finance personnel and senior management — anyone who needs to recognise fraud methodology before major harm reaches the organisation.
What are the practical arrangements — languages, dates and fees?
The programme is delivered in English and French, on a rolling calendar with dates confirmed on request. Fees and quotations are provided on enquiry. An in-house edition tailored to your institution is also available, letting the casework emphasis follow the fraud risks your audit plan actually faces.
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
- Risk-based internal audit frameworks
- IT audit, information-security auditing and standards
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 · Insurance · Technology & fintech
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.
