JST412 FRAUD PREVENTION
Enrolment restriction(s): restricted to Graduate Diploma of Investigations Management or Graduate Diploma of Serious Crime Investigation & Graduate Diploma of Fraud Investigation
This subject will outline the alternative solutions for victims of fraud. The options are: a reactive response (investigations) and the proactive responses (fraud prevention and deterrence programs). Fraud prevention/deterrence programs involve the implementation of the necessary controls and procedures which will act as an impediment and deterrent to any potential fraud offender . Within this framework will be the implementation of ethics based training programs, a whistleblowers facility and controls such as the segregation of duties and accountabilities. Regardless of the success of fraud prevention/deterrence programs there must also be an investigative/reactive response to fraud.
