Live Online Financial Data Review and Fraud Detection Training
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Nov 9, 2026 · from USD 1,700
Most frauds sit in the books for months before anyone notices, hidden in round-sum journals, unusual vendor payments or revenue booked just before year-end. The week opens with the fraud triangle and common schemes, from asset misappropriation and payroll fraud to financial statement manipulation and corruption. You then practise analytical review of ledgers, trial balances and management accounts, using ratio, trend and variance analysis to separate normal movement from genuine anomalies. Data techniques include Benford's Law, duplicate and gap testing, journal entry analysis and matching vendor master files against employee records.
Planning sessions show how to scope a review, choose samples and set thresholds for exceptions, while later days cover internal controls, segregation of duties and the warning signs that management override leaves behind. Case studies drawn from banking, public sector and NGO environments let you follow evidence trails and decide when a finding needs escalation. Internal and external auditors, finance managers, accountants, compliance officers and risk staff are the target audience. Afterwards you can run a structured data review, document anomalies clearly and write a findings report fit for an audit committee or investigator.
