Description
OVERVIEW:
The risk of fraud is just one of the many types of risks to be managed by an organization; however, many risk management professionals tend to underestimate the role of fraud in the scope of their professional duties. The failure to properly manage this risk can bring catastrophic results.
With organizations losing an estimated 7% of their annual revenues to fraud, the need for a strong anti-fraud stance and proactive, comprehensive approach to combating fraud is clear. As organizations increase their focus on risk, they should take the opportunity to consider, enact and improve measures to detect, deter and prevent fraud.
Building an effective fraud risk management program to combat organizational fraud requires solid understanding of how and why fraud is perpetrated. This certification course will discuss the components of a comprehensive and effective fraud risk management program including the elements of deterrence, detection, investigation and remediation.

TRAINING METHODOLOGY:
A highly interactive format, where all delegates will be encouraged to engage and participate, share and gain from each other’s knowledge and experience. The lectures will rely on a bullet-based slide presentation enriched by group discussions around case studies, videos and checklists wherever applicable.
Through a multiple-instructional setting, the goal is to achieve the learning objectives by means of virtual technologies that match personal learning styles and by the inclusion of non-linear learning that aims at the development of just-in-time skills of adult learners.
At the same time and in order to allow participants maximum flexibility of scheduling, the learning will be conducted in an allochronic manner. Using a state-of-the-art training architecture, RMA will combine self-learning with assessments and online discussions.
The pedagogics – adapted explicitly to professionals in full-time work – will help train participants through several experiences: absorb (read); do (activity); intermingle (socialize); mirror (relate to one’s own reality).
