Fraud can have serious consequences for both organisations and stakeholders. Throughout the audit process, auditors are expected to exercise professional scepticism and due care. They assess fraud risks, detect material misstatements resulting from fraud, and report any identified fraudulent activities to those charged with governance.

SPECIFIC TOPICS TO BE COVERED DURING THE SESSION

• Fraud basics

• Mitigating fraud risk

• ISA requirements with respect to fraud

• Challenges faced by auditors

• Audit reporting requirements

TARGET AUDIENCE

The session is targeted to finance professionals seeking to enhance their understanding of fraud risks and the role of external auditors in relation to fraud. This session will also be of interest to those professionals who already work within the respective fields.

WHY IS THE SESSION OF RELEVANCE TO OUR MEMBERS?

Participants will obtain a deeper understanding of fraud risks and various fraud indicators. This would enable them to develop audit procedures to address areas of higher risk, ensuring an efficient audit process. This session will also outline the responsibilities of external auditors in relation to fraud in an audit engagement, addressing the requirements of ISA 240 and ISA 315.
It is also relevant to those charged with corporate governance as they are responsible for monitoring the overall risk assessment process of the organisation, including the organisation’s exposure to fraud risks. Understanding the role of external auditors in relation to fraud is essential for them in order to identify the requirements for their organisation.
