Forensic & Investigative Auditing

The role of internal audit has changed a great deal over the last few years.

Some estimates suggest that fraud or corruption reduces the turnover of the average organisation by up to 5%. Alongside organisational theft, your firewall or financial systems might be under attack from cyber criminals. The increase in computer processing and online transactions bring new risks to which auditors need to be able to respond.

Expertise in identifying high-risk areas and the skills to combat these kinds of fraud are more important than ever. Combating crime of this kind as an auditor also requires expertise in gathering information, investigations, interviewing, analysis, record-keeping and document management.

Where police forces do not have the time or skills to undertake investigations of this nature, the chances of a successful investigation or recovering losses are slim unless you have the forensic skills to undertake this investigation yourself. This practical course will equip you with the skills and knowledge to undertake and lead forensic auditing and be an anti-fraud champion in your organisation.

Using case studies and interactive exercises, this course will be your road map through the major fraud concerns facing organizations today. You will cover investigative principles, forensic auditing and rules of evidence and sentencing guideline.

JUSTIFICATION FOR RECOMMENDING
If your training will involve multiple teams, as in the case of the current proposal, the Bunge team will have the opportunity to take advantage of breakout spaces that allow different teams to interact with each other during breaks from the training session. The possibility of team members rushing back to their desks during breaks will be eliminated. Therefore, the offsite concept remains an opportunity to encourage inter-team networking.

REMOVE DISTRACTIONS
When training events are held at the office, interruption (especially the staff) is inevitable. Colleagues walking in with “quick” questions and which in most cases could wait till after the training. While there will be some exceptions to this, training sessions will benefit from being away from the office as it will minimize these disruptions. Offsite training is captivating and makes sure messages are effectively conveyed. That is, being at a different location from the usual working environment can eliminate distractions and provide delegates with the opportunity to fully grasp the new information.
