Fraud Detection in Government Accounting

Government organisations at all levels -federal, state or local - have the formidable task of managing important public policy issues and communicating their activities to many different stakeholders. This places direct implications on how targets are achieved and what administrative systems are in operation, thus providing an environment where transparency can thrive whilst fraud, corruption and economic crime can be detected at an early stage.

This course is suitable for senior managers in the public service with a mission to detect and combat fraud, internal auditors and public accountants.
