Customer Feedback

Why Is Fraud Prevention and Risk Management for Managers Important?

Government guidelines for fraud prevention make it clear that communication and training are essential. Large organisations must now be able to evidence training to comply with the Failure to Prevent Fraud offence under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 (ECCTA). Smaller organisations are not bound by this duty, but training is still best practice – fraud is the UK’s most common corporate crime and every business is at risk.

This CPD-certified course equips managers to fulfil their role in fraud prevention. The first module explains what fraud is and the key legal duties that apply. It also examines the different types of fraud managers must be aware of, including internal schemes such as false expenses, external threats such as third-party fraud, and cyber-enabled crime such as phishing, spoofed invoices and payment diversion.

The second module provides practical guidance on applying control measures to mitigate these risks. Managers learn to apply due diligence, implement checks, support employees in raising concerns and respond effectively to suspected wrongdoing.

Successful trainees receive digital certificates that confirm training has been completed and understood. Certificates are CPD-certified and can act as evidence that reasonable steps have been taken to prevent fraud in your organisation.

Frequently Asked Questions

There is no single “best” certification, as the right choice depends on your role and responsibilities. For senior staff, a fraud prevention training for managers that covers both the legal framework and practical fraud controls is most suitable.

Managers have a duty not only to act to prevent fraud themselves but also to ensure their teams follow policies and legislation. This requires a clear understanding of both the law and the practical measures used to reduce fraud risks.

Fraud prevention programmes are often structured around a set of core elements. While different models exist, four commonly recognised pillars are:

  • Prevention: Policies, controls and due diligence designed to reduce opportunities for fraud
  • Detection: Systems and processes to identify red flags and suspicious activity early
  • Response: Clear procedures for reporting concerns, preserving evidence and investigating issues
  • Monitoring: Regular review of controls, risks and training to ensure measures remain effective

This fraud training for managers emphasises the importance of these principles under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023, which requires organisations to show they took “reasonable steps” to prevent fraud.

Managers aren’t legally required to hold any qualifications in fraud prevention. However, completing recognised fraud awareness or compliance training will help managers recognise the full range of fraud risks and respond appropriately.

Providing a fraud awareness course for managers also demonstrates that steps have been taken to prevent fraud. Large organisations are now expected to show this evidence under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023.
