CFC Certified in Financial Crimes

• Course Overview

  Financial crime is constantly evolving. As one threat is countered, another emerges. Everyone within an organization has a part to play in protecting the firm and this course provides practical knowledge and useful skills in financial crime prevention.

  Corporate crime is an unlikable fact in today’s big business world. It has touched every country, every industry, and has no signs of stopping. Throughout the past 5 years, the number of reported cases of fraud and corruption has continued to grow radically. Compounding this are the challenges faced by the audit team and a general lack of the necessary skill sets to collect the right audit evidence so critical to criminal investigations.

  While the regulatory measures and internal controls in reporting requirements help to lessen the potential for falsified activities to take place, history has shown that ingenious employees can and have manipulated even the best control systems for personal gain.

  Virtually every entity suffers from fraud, though management might not know it: organized crime, money laundering, business fraud. With fraud costing entities an estimated 5% of their annual revenues, organizations lacking proactive fraud prevention measures are the most at risk.
