 Pre-Conference Workshop
Workshop A – Sunday, 8 June 2008
Fraud Deterrence As A Complement To Detection
And Remediation
Workshop Timing: Registration will commence at 8:00. The workshop will begin at 8:30 with refreshments being
served at appropriate intervals. The workshop will conclude at 14:30, after which lunch will be served.
Introduction
It is not enough to merely react to fraud in your
company. To survive in today’s business world, you
must take a proactive approach to fraud management
and deter it from even happening. i.e. it is much
more effective and efficient to prevent funds from
disappearing than to attempt to recover the funds
once they have already gone. Hosted by a leading
mind in fraud deterrence, this fully interactive, in-depth
workshop will provide you with the tools to tackle fraud
in your organisation before it even happens.
Workshop Highlights:
• While the hope would always be that an anti-
fraud culture strategy would succeed in preventing
incidences of fraud, learn how the very existence of
the strategy acts as a deterrent in itself
• Reduce the opportunities to commit fraud while
increasing the likelihood of perpetrators being caught
• Appreciate that no organisation is immune to fraud
and it is not merely a random occurrence, but that
it arises as and when the environment allows for its
presence
• Rather than simply detect and/or react to fraud,
develop a proactive policy and strategy to deter fraud
by eliminating opportunities for it to occur
• Conduct in depth reviews of internal and external
gaps in business processes and susceptibilities and
close these gaps in order to effectively limit fraud
possibilities
• Discover why closing the door before the
horse has bolted is a better policy and strategy
than looking for subsequent fraud detection and
remediation
• Explore all aspects of implementing a corporate
policy and strategy for fraud deterrence in order to
develop an effective anti-fraud cultural environment in
this one day Masterclass Workshop
