Personnel involved in the purchasing & payables processes are responsible for substantial cash outflow, yet in many organizations these day-to-day processes are not as closely watched as other outlay departments such as Payroll or Treasury. Even where the organization believes controls are strong, personnel and vendors can find their way around the checkpoints. False vendors and intentional overcharges have cost organizations dearly, in some cases over $100 million. Companies have been bankrupted by the actions of a single vendor.

This hands-on session builds off of Detecting Fraud Using Data Analysis; here we dive deeper into a specific process and add to our repertoire of data analysis techniques. Through hands-on exercises and case studies, you will reinforce your learning, and see fraud as we encounter it in the field.

Who should attend:Auditors, finance personnel, and investigators, who possess the unique ability to defend against fraud, protect their leaders from surprises, and help keep their organizations and clients away from unwelcome media attention.

Through hands-on instruction, taught at an optimal learning pace, attendees will learn how to:

• Understand Our Role in Fraud Detection:
  • Mindsets that keep people from detecting fraud
  • A five-step approach to fraud detection
• Recognize What Can Go Wrong in Purchasing & Payables:
  • How to detect procurement card fraud, false vendors, intentional overbilling, and fictitious payment schemes including the newer phishing scams
  • Pitfalls and traps to avoid
• Apply Data Analysis Techniques to Case Studies:
  • Building logical extractions to target symptoms of problems; identifying curious patterns; practical analyses for detecting violations of statistical laws
  • Purchasing and payables fraud cases worth knowing, how to analyze them, and how to build an effective ‘pre-mortem’ testing plan to avoid the same problems
