    Developing an Integrated Anti-Fraud, Compliance and Ethics Program

    Thursday-Friday, June 21-22 | 8:30 AM-4:55 PM


    CPE Credit: 16

    Level: Overview

    Recommended Prerequisite: None

    Field of Study: Behavioral Ethics

    Tone at the top can set a precedent for an ethical corporate culture, but a formal ethics program provides a clear framework for the organization’s expectations, policies and potential consequences. While compliance and ethics are the foundation of such programs, the pervasive threat of fraud makes it critical to also integrate fraud-focused initiatives into the program, including anti-fraud and whistleblower policies.

    Learn best practices for creating an effective compliance and ethics program that incorporates anti-fraud measures. This 2-day course will explore the essential steps your organization needs to take in developing a program that will effectively foster ethical behavior, promote compliance and deter fraudulent activities by your employees.

    You Will Learn How To:

    • Plan and schedule interviews
    • Assess an organization's ethical and compliance culture
    • Create an effective anti-fraud, compliance and ethics policy
    • Structure the organization to reinforce a culture of ethics and compliance
    • Implement a whistleblower reporting system
    • Design and conduct effective ethics and compliance training
    • Address ethical breaches and noncompliance
    • Monitor the anti-fraud, compliance and ethics programs and remediate any identified deficiencies
