Program Objective

Incidences of Financial Frauds (FF) in large loan accounts with huge financial loss implications have sharply risen in recent times. Digital & cyber frauds are also on the rise with increased use of technology. Fraudulent transactions in deposit and loan accounts with characteristics of financial crime (FC) can have PMLA implications. Banks and financial institutions, therefore, need to put in place enterprise wide FF & FC risk management framework for mitigation and prevention. Mitigation and prevention capacity is enhanced through an organizational culture built around robust standards of compliance, conduct and ethics. Early detection and quick reporting of FC & FF are imperatives to minimize potential losses including regulatory penalties. Post detection, the fraud/crime needs to be investigated quickly and comprehensively to identify the control failures and uncover the trails, gather evidences, trace the funds/assets and achieve financial resolution. Forensic Audit (FA) helps accomplish these multiple goals. Participants will be exposed to these topics and aspects, including on issues in the intersections, through classroom lectures, case studies, panel discussions and experience sharing.
