Training

Cifas has a range of courses tailor-made for helping you respond to the fraud and financial crime threats to your organisation, providing you with the latest fraud prevention techniques.

Fraud and financial crime is a pervasive problem for both you and your organisation. Increased use of the Internet provides much opportunity for criminals, with cybercrime now a key threat for organisations. Consumers sometimes use fraudulent documents to acquire products and services, while some individuals can be an internal threat – committing fraud as an employee.

There are solutions to these issues, and Cifas has a number of courses tailor-made for helping you identify, prevent and respond to the fraud and financial crime threats to your organisation. With three decades of experience in the fraud prevention sphere, and access to the latest financial crime datasets from our own databases, our courses provide informed and up-to-date fraud prevention techniques.

We can give you the essential facts on cybercrime, and teach you how to use both the Internet – and the data you collect as an organisation – to detect and prevent fraudulent activity. We can also make sure your fellow employees are as fraud aware as you.
