In case you’ve missed recent bulletins, we have another date in the diary for the popular Fraud First-Responders course, this time in London on the 11th May. It’s for those in institutions – normally in management in professional services, whether finance, procurement, HR, or other areas – who may be ‘first on the scene’ of a fraud or suspicion of fraud, or involved in a response to a fraud or suspected fraud on behalf of your institution.
It's a hands-on, one-day course that will provide you with the knowledge and framework to respond appropriately to fraud alerts and reports, and to make the right decisions in accordance with your university’s policies. You will be asked to bring along your university’s policies and response plans on the day and you will be able to test these against real-life HE scenarios and case-studies, visualising in advance how you might respond, as well as understand if changes need to be made to your institutional approach. To book click here. For any queries, please contact our Learning and Development manager Rachel.
Secondly, the new free CFA e-learning module is now live on the new PHES e-learning system here. This new Learning Management System (LMS) hosts all our existing e-learning, plus the new CFA course and an updated version of the Introduction to Counter Fraud module. All the courses are now completely free to any member of staff at a BUFDG member institution, even if they're from outside Finance or even outside professional services altogether. Along with the usual access for those with a BUFDG/other PHES organisation website account, there's a new and very easy ‘quick-registration’ that just asks for name, email address, and institution, and takes about 30 seconds. This is designed with those outside your Finance Departments in mind.
To read about more about all 10 courses, or to login to the system to begin, visit the e-learning page here. And if you'd like to have a chat about how your institution can make the most of the e-learning in a more coordinated way, drop an email again to Rachel.
