Harness the power of AI to enhance detection and streamline investigations while navigating the critical legal and ethical standards for court admissibility.
Fraud investigations now involve vast datasets, increasingly complex schemes, and tighter expectations around speed and defensibility. Artificial intelligence offers powerful new ways to identify anomalies, surface hidden relationships, and focus investigative effort—but only when used with appropriate controls and professional judgement.
This practical session explores how AI can be applied across the fraud investigation lifecycle, from early detection and triage through to analysis and case development. Using real-world scenarios and interactive discussion, participants will examine where AI genuinely adds value, where it introduces risk, and how to integrate it responsibly into investigative work.
The session is designed for professionals who want practical insight—not theory—into using AI as an investigative tool while maintaining ethical standards and defensible outcomes.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
