Course Description

‘Systemic fraud’ involves everyday transactions where the opportunity to cheat simply can’t be prevented. “Death by a thousand paper cuts” rather than a major risk that can stall or kill organizational Fraud Prevention efforts.

 

In this program we’ll build an effective response to systemic fraud. We’ll use real-world examples from travel and entertainment expense reimbursement, purchasing and credit card transactions, time reporting, and similar everyday small dollar events. We’ll highlight the power of data mining and analytics in these larger populations of small dollar transactions.
