Fraud and Internal Controls Training in Ghana
Classroom cohorts in Accra · live online · in-house anywhere in Ghana
Most frauds succeed not because they are clever but because a control was missing, ignored or never tested. You will learn to assess fraud risk systematically, apply the COSO internal control framework and design preventive and detective controls that fit how your organization really operates. Sessions examine the fraud triangle, common schemes in procurement, payroll, expenses and revenue, and the behavioural and data red flags that appear long before losses are discovered.
Practical work covers segregation of duties matrices, reconciliations, approval hierarchies and the use of data analytics to test entire populations rather than samples. You will also rehearse what to do when something goes wrong, from preserving evidence and interviewing witnesses to reporting findings and fixing the weakness behind them. Accountants, internal auditors, compliance officers, finance managers and risk professionals in public and private institutions find it directly applicable. You take away a fraud risk register template, control testing checklists and a clearer sense of where your own organization is most exposed.
About this course
The Fraud and Internal Controls Training builds the specialist capability required to plan, deliver and evaluate fraud and internal controls in demanding, fast-moving operating environments. As expectations around accountability, efficiency and demonstrable results continue to rise, organizations increasingly depend on staff who can apply structured approaches rather than improvise. This certified programme combines proven methodology with hands-on application, covering fraud and module 1, fraud and module 2 and the analytical techniques that underpin sound professional judgement.
Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from banking institutions, financial services firms, audit practices, and public finance bodies, examining how fraud and internal controls is applied in practice and where it most often breaks down. Delegates will develop practical skill in designing appropriate frameworks, interpreting findings, and communicating conclusions clearly to colleagues, management and external stakeholders — strengthening both individual effectiveness and the wider capability of the organizations they return to.
