THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountant Act, Laws of Kenya)
Forensic, Fraud and Internal Controls Workshop – Recording
Date: 21st – 22nd September 2022
Venue: Virtual
Time: 09.00am-03.30pm
OVERVIEW
In the recent past, many organizations, banks, and small businesses have become victims of the scourge of document and cheque fraud, wire frauds and various types of business frauds. These frauds have resulted in the loss of funds from tens of thousands to multi-million-dollar losses. With continual digitization of financial records and transactions, fraud prevention and detection is set to be more challenging. More than usual, professionals guarding organizations’ resources need to be alert for situations, control weaknesses, inadequacies in record keeping, errors and unusual transactions or results which could be indicative of fraud, improper or unlawful expenditure, unauthorized operations, waste, inefficiency, or lack of probity.
Despite the existence of internal controls, fraudsters have proven to be ahead of the game by circumventing the same. This calls for a more proactive approach and change of strategy in preventing and detecting fraud. This workshop is planned to address the following areas:
- The Modern-Day Fraud: Current Trends and Players
- Conducting an Effective Fraud Risk Assessment for Organizations
- A Review of Preventive and Detective Internal Controls
- Fraud Detection through Data Analytics
- E- Procurement Fraud and Prevention Techniques
- Investigating Money Laundering and Proceeds of Crime
- Forensic Investigation Report Writing and Evidence Presentation
- Litigation of Fraud Cases: Expectations from Law Enforcement Agencies and the Courts
