Course description

This program is tailored for individuals with little to no prior training in financial institution embezzlements. Whether you are new to this field, have less than three years of experience, or are newly assigned to security duties, this webinar is perfect for you.

Investigating internal frauds without the proper education can expose financial institutions to unknown liabilities. This program provides a solid framework for conducting internal fraud examinations. We will explore the motivations behind employee theft and the methods used to conceal fraud. Additionally, you will learn about the "Fraud Triangle" and how it can assist you in identifying and addressing internal embezzlement.

Before an internal embezzlement occurs in your financial institution, it is crucial to establish a risk management committee comprising members from Human Resources, Internal Audit, and the Security Officer. This committee should pre-determine who will lead the investigation to avoid unnecessary conflicts during an incident. The investigation should be led by the individual who understands the steps we will cover in this webinar.
