Detecting Fraud With Data Analytics Workshop
Description
According to the ACFE's Occupational Fraud 2022: A Report to the Nations, proactive data monitoring and analysis is among the most effective anti-fraud controls. Organizations that undertake proactive data analysis techniques experience frauds that are 47% less costly and detect frauds 2.25 times as quickly as organizations that do not monitor and analyze data for signs of fraud.
The Detecting Fraud with Data Analytics Virtual Workshop will teach you how to plan, design and apply numerous data analytics tests in order to detect various fraud schemes. You will also discover how to examine and interpret the results of those tests to identify the red flags of fraud.
The course will begin by providing a solid foundation on which to build your data analytics initiatives, from understanding the types of tests that can be used to properly obtaining, preparing and normalizing your data for testing. You will then learn how to link your new knowledge of analytical tests, data sources, and fraud schemes into a holistic approach for applying data analysis techniques to real data sets and scenarios. The course will conclude with discussions on how to effectively—and ethically—communicate the results of your analyses.
