Module 2 – The Fraudster

Course Module 2 sets out to familiarise candidates with the behaviours, habits and exploits of fraudsters at a variety of levels. From high-level criminal fraud to much lower-level business-specific misdealing, candidates explore how fraud affects both its victims directly and modern society in general.

Module 3 – Fraud Detecting Techniques

The third course module focuses more specifically on a series of effective fraud detecting techniques, incorporating an overview of essential risk assessment strategies and how to identify common signs of fraud.  A variety of fraud risk factors are introduced, along with revenue monitoring/analysis.

Module 4 – Case Investigation Procedure

Module 5 – Evidence Gathering

How to effectively go about evidence gathering from the perspective of the forensic accountant is explored in-depth in Module 5.  Candidates learn the importance of collating and producing the necessary evidence to prove a case, along with effective strategies for both analysing and condensing/summarising evidence to its key specifics.

Module 6 – Evaluating Financial and Non-Financial Evidence

In the closing course module, candidates are guided through the evaluation of financial and non-financial evidence, as part of the investigative process.  A variety of crucial interview skills are introduced, along with key strategies for dealing with sophisticated interviewees, how to effectively evaluate information gathered during interviews and the importance of comprehensive witness-statement analysis.
