The objectives of the Masterclass are to educate corporations and employees on Current Fraud and Corruption Trends and to provide an arsenal of the latest techniques to prevent, detect and manage fraud. This training provides the latest technology and videos to not only sensitise employees to what is happening but also “how the fraudster carries out his frauds”. We truly believe that fraud investigators and auditors can only begin to tackle fraud if they understand how the many different types of fraud are carried out.
