Forensic auditing is a specialised type of accounting that investigates various activities, including fraud, embezzlement, and other financial crimes. Forensic accountants conduct forensic audits and examinations and assess fraud risks. They can identify fraud, the factors leading to it, and what assets to recover.
This course provides an overview of forensic auditing and focuses specifically on fraud, including fraud indicators, data analysis, and forensic techniques for identifying fraud.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the motivations and actions of fraudsters.
- Identify the key components of fraud profiling.
- Employ fraud indicators, prioritise risks, and leverage data mining as a detection tool.
- Exercise a variety of techniques to identify fraud.
- Use continual auditing and monitoring to uncover anomalies.
This course is intended for:
- Internal Auditors
- Audit Managers and Lead Auditors
- Fraud Specialists
- Certified Fraud Examiners
- Forensic Accountants

- Anyone looking to learn more about fraud detection techniques
This course uses a variety of adult learning styles to aid full understanding and comprehension. Participants will review case studies to highlight key areas of importance and possible areas for faults. They will be supplied with the best tools required for learning exercises to improve their skills. Participants will analyse the examples to thoroughly understand how these skills, techniques and methods apply in the workplace.
Day 5 of each course is reserved for a Q&A session, which may occur off-site. For 10-day courses, this also applies to day 10
