Uncover the hidden patterns of digital procurement schemes and learn to test the evidence behind every payment.
This course examines the vulnerabilities inherent in hybrid procurement processes where fragmented communication and remote work environments create opportunities for vendor fraud. It covers the lifecycle of a purchase from initial vendor contact and onboarding to invoice approval and final payment, emphasizing the need for professional skepticism. Participants will learn to identify red flags in digital documentation, evaluate the legitimacy of vendor relationships, and implement rigorous testing procedures to verify work performance and payment integrity. The content focuses on reconstructing transaction trails, detecting collusion, and establishing effective controls to prevent financial loss in decentralized organizational structures.

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.
