Introduction

Fraud, waste and abuse damage financial performance, public trust and organisational integrity, but each requires a different audit response. Effective auditors must recognise behavioural and transactional indicators, focus limited resources on the highest-risk exposures and maintain professional scepticism without presuming misconduct.

This five-day course provides a structured approach to fraud-risk auditing in public and private organisations. Participants will develop risk-based audit plans, use analytical tests, conduct purposeful interviews, document evidence and communicate sensitive findings. Practical exercises connect detection work with control improvement, escalation, investigation boundaries and sustainable prevention.

Objectives

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

Differentiate fraud, waste and abuse.
Assess organisational fraud-risk exposure.
Recognise behavioural and transactional red flags.
Design targeted fraud-audit procedures.
Apply data analysis and interview techniques.
Document evidence with professional discipline.
Report sensitive findings appropriately.
Recommend proportionate preventive controls.
