Why Should You Attend:
The field of risk management has attracted increased mainstream attention in the wake of the economic meltdown as the public has begun to comprehend the negative effects of uncontained risk. Unfortunately, many risk management professionals tend to underestimate the role of fraud in the scope of their professional duties.
With organizations losing an estimated 5 percent of their annual revenues to fraud, the need for a strong anti-fraud stance and proactive, comprehensive approach to combating fraud is clear. As organizations increase their focus on risk, they should take the opportunity to consider, enact and improve measures to detect, deter and prevent fraud. Without clear, defined objectives, a fraud risk management program cannot be effective.
In this course, participants will:
Learn how to set program objectives and define risk appetite as the first step in building the program.
Discuss the steps involved in developing a fraud risk management program, as well as the program components necessary to fully manage the risk of fraud.
Review risk management frameworks and will be introduced to the concept of fraud risk, including the factors that influence it.
Learn why businesses should manage fraud risk and who within the organization is responsible for this task.

Identify fraud risks and the factors that influence them
Analyze existing risk management frameworks and their application to managing fraud risk
Develop and implement the necessary components of a successful fraud risk management program

Conduct a cost effective fraud risk assessment
