| TECHNICAL | 7A Gorilla in the midst – Fraud detection techniques
The risk of fraud to an organisation is a critical risk regardless of organisational size, geography or industry type. Complicating factors to this critical risk is that fraud is a covert crime which is difficult to detect with the fraudster(s) working 24/7 to perpetrate the fraud and to avoid detection. If we wish to detect and prevent fraud we need to understand the indicators of fraud and employ clever
strategies to mitigate the risk of fraud whilst increasing ‘the perception of detection’. This session will examine:
• Fraud types
• Motivating factors
• Fraud indicators
• Strategic data analysis
• Whistle blowing
• Fraud awareness training
These issues will be discussed against actual case studies demonstrating their importance and relevance in the fight against fraud and corruption whilst providing practical solutions and advice to auditors on clever solutions to prevent and detect fraud.
