WORKSHOP A: Excellence in public sector fraud investigations – best practices and insights
Friday 15 November 09.00-12.00
One of the fundamental pillars for a strong counter fraud strategy is a comprehensive set of preventative controls. However, prevention alone does not guarantee that all misconduct will be mitigated. When potential fraud incidents arise, it is crucial that investigators intervene and tailor their approaches to align with ongoing organisational responses.
This workshop will equip you with the latest tools, methodologies and practices, to ensure you can steer internal and external investigations towards success. Led by a seasoned fraud investigator, you will hone your investigative skills and integrate vital considerations into your counter fraud strategy. This workshop is an invaluable opportunity to gain critical insights on proactive and reactive investigations into misconduct, including:
- Responding swiftly when a fraud incident has been detected
- Aligning investigations with organisational policy and desired outcomes
- Collecting evidence and data that can be effectively utilised in the ongoing response
- Addressing privacy and admissibility concerns in fact-finding processes
- Conducting interviews efficiently and in line with best practice
- Safeguarding evidence to prevent unintentional or malicious contamination
- Leveraging technology and data in the design and execution of investigations
- Incorporating asset recovery potential into investigatory practices
This is an essential workshop for counter fraud professionals to enhance the effectiveness, consistency and outcomes of your organisation’s fraud investigation functions!
