According to the latest PwC Global Economic Crime and Fraud Survey, 47% of companies have experienced fraud in the past 24 months with a total reported loss of US$42bn. Kristin Rivera, PwC Global Forensics Leader, says “when it comes to preventing and tackling fraud, our research shows that a dollar invested now is worth twice as much when fraud hits.”

Corporate fraud is also on the rise. With our corporate fraud training, this course will help you identify and even prevent any incidents of fraud happening internally in your organisation.

The qualification is designed to give you actionable, practical knowledge so that you can implement key fraud management strategies in your firm. You will get to grips with global anti-fraud frameworks, the mind and motivations of a fraudster as well as gain an understanding of what the future holds in this space.
