Dear Delegates,
Corporate fraud costs businesses hundreds of millions of dollars each year. It affects livelihoods and is a common
cause of corporate failure. It is the responsibility of the board of directors to prevent fraud by putting in places the
appropriate controls and review procedures. This program shows you why Accounting Information System (AIS)
Threats are ever increasing. Control risks have also increased in the last few years because there are computers
and servers everywhere, and information is available to an unprecedented number of workers. Distributed
computer networks make data available to many users, and these networks are harder to control than centralized
mainframe systems. With the introduction of 3 levels of COSO and value driven ERM, things should be under
control. Recent events at SATYAM proves that in reality things are getting out of control. So, what went wrong ?
Is it time to train the auditors ?
Recognising the challenges that organisations are facing in combating Fraud, CSI In Practice is pleased to present
this 2-days Workshop on Enterprise Fraud Risk Management. This will serve as an excellent opportunity to learn how
best to conduct an internal investigation to protect your organization and step up on controls to deter fraud.
