Lehigh Valley ACFE May Training Event
Integrating Fraud Testing Into Your Audit Program
While fraud investigators and auditors are familiar with the traditional fraud investigation which is performed in reaction to an allegation, there is another approach that proactively integrates fraud testing methodologies into the audit program when there has been no allegation of fraud. The proactive approach can use either the traditional approach of testing controls or conducting fraud testing designed to uncover fraud scenarios. The proactive approach focuses on red flags associated with data, documents or internal controls.
At this event you will learn how to identify red flags associated with a fraud scenario and how to build samples and design audit tests focusing on the mechanics of a fraud scenario. The proactive methodology focuses on how to tailor the audit approach to integrate fraud risk into your sampling and testing program.
The highlights of this seminar will include:
· Fraud Risk Identification;
· Integrating Fraud into your Audit Program;
· How to Build a Fraud Data Mining Plan; and,
· Detecting Fraud in Disbursements.
Whether you are a fraud investigator looking to expand your fraud monitoring capabilities or an auditor who would like to increase your fraud awareness and testing capabilities, you are sure to find something of interest at this event.
