1 day Fraud Detection & Investigation Workshop
 
In today’s fraud environment there is a critical need to go beyond prevention as counter measures are increasingly adopted by internal fraudsters to circumvent these measures. Fraud detection measures can identify these countermeasures and stop fraud. From many years of experience in investigating fraud, Mr Jeffery Ang have successfully develop an effective fraud detection frame work helm by the original method aptly called GHOST Protocol which is an invisible layer of covert measures over the visible control measures. Ask yourself, 'would a fraudster tell you how he is going to cheat you", so why should we tell the fraudster how we are going to catch him, like the control measures all staff are aware of. Participants will learn:
