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
