In Ireland, the rate of fraud is rising at an unprecedented pace, affecting organisations across all sectors.

It raises awareness among employees by helping them recognise the warning signs of fraud and understand how to detect, prevent and respond appropriately. The course is tailored specifically to Irish law and provides comprehensive compliance training for all staff.
Overview

Safeguard Your Organisation Against Fraud

Fraud is a serious criminal offence. Both individuals and organisations involved in fraudulent activities may face prosecution and criminal charges. A zero-tolerance approach is essential, and responsibility for maintaining this standard is shared across the organisation.  

Employees are a vital part of your organisation’s first line of defence. Their awareness, ethical conduct and vigilance are essential in protecting your team, your customers and your organisation’s reputation.

This fraud awareness training course equips staff with practical tools to spot and report suspicious activity. It empowers them to act responsibly, uphold best practices and create a culture of integrity within the workplace.

This training is particularly important in the context of legal obligations set out in the Criminal Justice (Theft and Fraud Offences) Act 2001, and its subsequent amendments, including the Criminal Justice (Theft and Fraud Offences) (Amendment) Act 2021.  

By remaining informed and vigilant, employees serve as a crucial line of defence in promoting ethical conduct and ensuring compliance within the workplace.
