This 6 weeks, interactive and engaging training course is developed with the aim to build the capacity of the participants to help prevent, detect and combat fraud and corruption at different stages. The aim of this training course is not to provide laws, regulations and international standards on auditing, but to encourage and motivate participants to develop their ability to recognise red flags and risks of fraud and corruption, by being more attentive and responsive to hints of fraud, thereby allowing them to use the most appropriate, innovative and effective anti-fraud control measures.
The training refreshes the knowledge of the participants and develops further expertise in anti-Fraud and Corruption. It aims to create an awareness and a healthy scepticism related to an “out- of -the- box- way of thinking” especially in situations of suspicion of fraud and corruption.
This course will highly focus on innovation by introduction of the practical use of new and sophisticated audit tools and techniques, open sources, systems and international databases. The training will also focus on crisis situations, especially the COVID-19 pandemic, new types of fraud and how to combat these.
This online training course has the same engaging approach and interactive character as the (Face2Face, F2F) Anti-Fraud and Corruption Games, developed and presented by Jo Kremers. It will also provide cases that will be solved by the participants at home through desk research (homework assignments). And finally, by no means unimportant, Jo Kremers uses the same slogans (key messages) for this online course as he uses during his F2F Games:

1. “To catch a fraudster, you should think like a fraudster”
2. “The winner (of the Game) takes it all, will it be you or……the fraudster?”
3. “A day without laughter, is a day wasted”

By the end of this course, participants should be able to:

• use the new knowledge and experiences in a successful set-up, functioning and maintenance of the Anti-Fraud Cycle, Fraud Risk Management in particular and Fraud Risk Self-Assessment,
• successfully detect fraud and corruption during verifications and audits;
• use the fraud and corruption symbols to understand, analyze, prevent and detect new fraud and corruption cases, and new fraud trends including in crisis situations like COVID-19;
• to think creatively and innovatively in a society with new opportunities for (potential) creative fraudsters, but also new challenges and opportunities to combat these;
• to think like a fraudster in order to catch the fraudster;
• innovate in the Anti-Fraud Cycle and in verifications and audits, by implementing and using new IT tools, robotics, Artificial intelligence, risk scoring tools, data analytics, open-source intelligence, international data bases et cetera
• make use of the new knowledge and the new expertise as key stones for a warm passion in the fight against Fraud and Corruption; a passion needed to assure that public money will be used / invested / spend in a legal, regular and successful way for future generations
