Frauditing - Internal Controls to Prevent and Detect Corporate Fraud- In-Person

Internal Controls to Prevent and Detect Corporate Fraud

 

Fraud doesn’t start with a “bad actor.” It starts with weak controls, poor oversight, and management blind spots. This in-person course shows you how to design, test, and monitor anti-fraud internal controls that actually work—without turning the business into molasses.

 

Why “Frauditing” matters

Most fraud programs fail for one reason: they focus on fraud theory instead of control execution. This course is built for auditors and control owners who need to:

  • Prevent fraud through control design (not wishful thinking)

  • Detect fraud using monitoring and data-driven red flags

  • Prove controls work through testing that stands up to review

 

Who Should Attend

Designed for:

  • Internal auditors, external auditors, and SOX teams

  • Compliance, risk, and ethics professionals

  • Controllers, finance leaders, and process owners

  • Investigations and forensic accounting personnel

  • Audit committee support staff and governance professionals

 

What You’ll Learn 

By the end, participants will be able to:

  • Build a fraud risk assessment tied to real processes and incentives

  • Map common fraud schemes to preventive vs. detective controls

  • Design segregation of duties that works in the real world

  • Write control language that is testable and enforceable

  • Identify control “fakes” (approvals that don’t approve, reviews that don’t review)

  • Create monitoring routines for anomalies, overrides, and exceptions

  • Evaluate management’s anti-fraud program for coverage and effectiveness

 

Participants leave with:

  • A repeatable fraud-control mapping method

  • A checklist of high-failure controls and how to fix them

  • Testing steps for approvals, reconciliations, monitoring, and access controls

  • A monitoring playbook for exceptions, overrides, and master data changes
