Abstract
According to the 2020 Global Economic Crime Survey, 47% of companies experienced a fraud in the past 24 months and on average, companies reportedly experienced 6 incidents in the last 24 months. The most common types of fraud include customer fraud, cybercrime, asset misappropriation, bribery and corruption and financial statements fraud. Forensic services help companies discover illicit acts on time, carry out forensic investigations and mitigate risks. Aim of the course is to familiarize students with the theory and practice behind the forensics expertise. During the course we will discuss regulatory frameworks, approaches to and considerations of investigations of crimes committed, apply effective tools for identifying risks and developing and implementing fraud prevention systems. In addition, students will familiarize themselves with the related forensics matters such as corporate intelligence, forensic technology, dispute and litigation support, financial crime, whistleblowing systems, anti-money laundering, sanction and other compliance matters.
