7C: Key Fraud Indicators (KFI): A New Approach to Set Up and Use Effective Fraud Indicators
Group Corporate Audit Manager, Brakes Group France
Most companies set up Key Performance Indicators (KPI) but when it comes to fraud, it is more difficult to find indicators that meet their needs and to use them efficiently. Through real examples of Key Fraud Indicators (KFI) building processes, you will learn how to design your own KFI and how to look for significant and effective data. You will also discover innovative approaches that will help you get the best of these indicators in order to detect and prevent fraud.
You Will Learn How To:
- Set up effective Key Fraud Indicators that will meet your needs and go beyond standard indicators
- Identify the right data for your analysis and learn from work methods used in other departments of your company to analyse it
- Leverage new approaches to understand fraud indicators for detection and prevention
- Communicate efficiently on KFIs with different levels of management

7D: Increasing the Likelihood of Identifying Fraud, Not By Tip But By Data Analysis
CR Audit Germany
Managing Director (CEO), Schudea & SilverConsult GmbH Germany
The conventional sample selection methodology used in audits limits the possibility of discovering fraud, leaving many to be discovered based on a tip from an employee, vendor, etc. By considering correlation and tolerance levels and calculating the intrinsic value, the possibility of detecting fraud by analysing data can be significantly increased. The result of the risk and value-oriented sampling is a number of high quality samples whose variances cannot be easily reasoned by the auditee. Learn how this sampling methodology was used to identify fraud in cases of corruption, asset misappropriation, fraudulent statements and even illicit funds.
You Will Learn How To:
- Explain why averaging/single variable trend reviews will not lead to satisfying results
- Detect fraud by using data analysis through reviewing case studies
- Make illicit funds be visible for auditing
Level: Advanced
Prerequisite: An understanding of data analytics as it relates to fraud detection and examination
Field of Study: Auditing

Unlawful activity can be committed or facilitated online with criminals trading and sharing information, masking their identity, gathering information on victims and communicating with co-conspirators. Websites, email, chat rooms and social networks can all provide vital evidence in an investigation of computer-related crime, and this session will assist investigators in their efforts to curb such crime.
You Will Learn How To:
- Utilise the Internet as an investigative research tool
- Locate information using search engines, meta browsers, deep web, people search and Open Source Intelligence (OSINT)
- Trace domain name owners, the origin of an email and blacklist checks
- Protect your privacy when investigating online
Level: Intermediate
Prerequisite: None
Field of Study: Computer Science
