Fraud Investigation Management

At Xact, we understand that a “one size fits all” approach to Fraud Investigation Management is going to be unsuitable for most organisations.

Each organisation will have its own unique requirements when it comes to counter-acting fraud depending on:

• specific nature of the fraud in question
• investigation objective e.g. prosecution, analysis and information gathering
• legislation governing the organisation/department and statutory powers and obligations of the investigative body

That is why we encourage our customers to work with us to develop training programmes that fully address their needs. Based on these and course length, our tutors employ a variety of delivery media, case studies and practical activities to reinforce learning. Although course content may differ between organisations, a major feature of most will be the Investigation Process. See left for links to our courses in this area.
