Fraud Detection Certificate

Fraud Detection Certificate Course

All businesses should have in place a set of policies and procedures that deter people from committing fraud. Unfortunately, fraud remains a common problem across many industries.
The financial sector is particularly vulnerable to these crimes. Fortunately, there are many steps you can take to prevent fraud and minimise the damage if a crime has already occurred.
 
In this course, you will learn the underlying principles of fraud detection, what fraud detection looks like in practice and the most common challenges people investigating suspected fraud tend to encounter.

 

You Will Learn:

  • Why fraud detection is important and why learning how to spot patterns is an essential skill in investigating fraud
  • How to look for clues that may point to future instances of fraud
  • How to identify anomalies in records and processes by analysing data
  • The challenges that face data auditors when trying to identify fraudulent activity and how to use analytics to identify red flags
  • How to detect credit card fraud using decision trees and algorithms

Benefits of Taking This Course:

  • Anyone who owns a business or occupies a senior position will benefit from this course, as it contains essential information that will help guard a company against fraud.
  • If you are an employee, knowing how and why fraud occurs will help you play your role in flagging anomalies, which could ultimately save your company a lot of time and money.
  • If you are responsible for recruiting new employees, this course will help you take their financial background into consideration when deciding whether to make an offer.
  • If you are interested in criminal law, this course will provide you with a useful insight into fraud and fraud detection.

I did not realise how in depth make up actually was until I actually began the course.

I found the course material very beneficial and it gave me an understanding of how to use all aspects of make up.The videos are extremely helpful and the tutor on them is very precise and clear.

I am exceedingly happy I took this course and it has put me in place for the perfect start. Highly recommend thank you skill academy for giving me the opportunity to better my self at my own pace. The hints and tips are ideal to make notes of xx

I really enjoyed this course. Was a lot of reading and had to stop and try to take it in.

There were 21 modules, and most of them took 45 minutes to complete, so you need to be in a position, where you actually have the time to do all the tasks that are required. The tasks are mainly to do things by yourself to practise what you have just read, but doing it will help you out so much.

Will be looking for another course, as I enjoyed this so much, definitely worth the price as the certificate is worth more on your cv.

Absolutely amazing course.. I had so much fun learning with New Skills Academy. This course was so informative, set out really well and I learned so much. It was great that with two young children under 3, I still managed to learn and pass my course that I’m so happy about.

Also fantastic that for a small fee I am having my certificate sent out to me which is a great option for me. All that’s left for me to do now is practice practice and practice. New Skills Academy have given me the confidence to start my venture as a Face Painter. Thank you so much. Amy xx

I undertook the Data Protection Certificate course in May 2017. I found the course to have a very in depth amount of detail on Data Protection and the law and legislation around it. It also went into detail on the new Data Protection Act coming in 2018.

I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a course with value for money and also to bulk up their knowledge and perhaps perusing a career in IT or security. The course is audited and comes with a certificate on completion which you are able to print yourself or have one sent out to you for a small fee.

A very helpful and well-structured introduction to Complete Animal Care. I haven't completed all the course content and modules, but I am finding it is clear and easy to understand and the topics are presented with enough detail to enable a good understanding, but not overwhelm you!
Very straightforward process to access content, good value for money and there is an extensive range of free downloadable resources relating to the course.
While learning at my own pace, the course is giving me all the information I need to start my dream career. I have already and will continue to highly recommend New Skills Academy!
