FORENSIC & INVESTIGATIVE AUDITING

Hence, a certain level of understanding and skills on forensic auditing will assist auditors to discharge their responsibility in this area. The purpose of this course is to provide the necessary skill sets to gather the proper audit evidence to prove existence or nonexistence of frauds. It takes years to get years’ experience.

ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT (ERM)
The turmoil in the world is continuing – with increasing public unrest fluctuating commodity and service prices, natural disasters on a scale so unimaginable, volatile stock markets and world economic uncertainty. The possible way out is to recognise the only real link between all these events – RISK – and then to try to anticipate, manage and exploit such risks at an enterprise level.
In many organizations risks have been identified as a result of control failures or as a result of pressure from regulators or Government. The primary intent has often been to tick the box and avoid criticism. Thankfully many organisations have realised that much more is needed and have developed an ERM approach, to ensure that risks that were previously managed in isolation can be aggregated and prioritized across the entire enterprise. However, stopping here is like driving a plane on a highway – it might go faster than the cars but it hasn't reached its full potential.
This course takes you one step further. Risks are scored based on business materiality with each risk being evaluated and compared with it’s financial, legal, reputational, and regulatory impact, and classified by the effect it could have on the enterprise.
