Data Analytics for Fraud Detection and Continuous Monitoring
Fraud increasingly hides in transaction data, and manual sampling rarely finds it. This hands on course teaches auditors and investigators to interrogate large data sets for red flags using spreadsheets and accessible analytics tools. Delegates build repeatable tests for duplicate payments, split transactions, unusual vendors and timing anomalies, then design continuous monitoring dashboards suited to African finance environments.

Apply Benford analysis, gap and duplicate testing to ledgers.
Detect split purchases, round amounts and after hours activity.
Match vendor, employee and banking data to surface collusion.
