Course Description:
People commit Occupational Fraud and will continue to do so. The question is, can you prevent it and reduce fraud losses? The answer is yes.
Certain key aspects of fraud prevention are within management's control. The Fraud Triangle, Developed by American Sociologist Dr. Donald Cressey, is a model for explaining the factors that cause an otherwise normal person to commit occupational fraud; the triangle comprises three factors: pressures/incentives, rationalizations and opportunities. Those opportunities result from weaknesses in internal controls. Thus, it is the opportunity factor for which management has responsibility, and which management can impact, - by implementing internal controls to ensure the accuracy, integrity and safety of the organization's resources. One of the most important steps an organization can take to prevent and deter fraud is to design and enforce a robust system of internal controls effective for fighting fraud.
This course will review the three main occupational fraud categories and numerous fraud schemes within them. Controls to prevent and detect fraud in each of the fraud schemes will be studied. Because cyber security threats have become a greater problem for businesses, this course will devote some time to proactive approaches companies can take to protect their information systems. Lastly, the course will review the new COSO Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) model and how it is used to prevent occupational fraud in a typical organization.
