Event
FREE Fraud Awareness Workshop
Background
This is an initial one-hour workshop that has been designed for a small group of 10 to 12
people (in order to maximise discussion and practical exercises) that details the risks,
both material and operational, posed to organisations as a result of the real risk of
fraud.
Organisations face a number of risks on many fronts, which include external and internal theft and fraud. Organisations must be well-versed on the cause and effect of each problem on the basis it may be called on for answers to mitigate these issues and protect the profitability and protect the assets of your company.
Whilst there are no hard figures recorded in Ireland, a survey undertaken by PwC in 2016 highlighted the average cost of fraud to organisations was €1.7m.
The purpose of the workshop and its content will be for participants to understand what
the threat of fraud and theft looks like and how to manage the same through internal
controls.
Workshop Description
This workshop provides an understanding of the fast-paced world of loss prevention,
the day-to-day challenges organisations face, and solutions for the threats facing this
multifaceted business.
The output of this course will include:
- Understanding of what a fraud looks like
- Developing an understanding of an Operational and Loss Prevention programme
- Obtaining a Practical idea of Investigative Practices.
This is an interactive course, which is built around real-life fraud case studies which
will help participants consolidate leading practice and tips.
Most fraudulent activity can be caught by putting effective internal processes and procedures in place to minimise the chances for illegal behaviour. Notwithstanding this, one of the best sources of fraud prevention is your employees.
In order to detect and prevent fraud, employees must first know what to look for, and then what to do about it. Starting with the basics, we suggest you train your employees, so they understand company policies and procedures. Make sure they know and follow all rules and guidelines in managing the threat of theft and fraud.
