Learn to harness artificial intelligence as a force for good, mastering the investigative tools and ethical frameworks needed to outsmart the next generation of digital fraudsters.
Artificial intelligence is transforming how fraud is committed, detected, investigated, and explained, but it is also reshaping the ethical responsibilities of fraud examiners, auditors, and forensic accountants. As organizations adopt AI-enabled tools for analytics, risk assessment, and decision support, professionals must confront new questions about accountability, bias, professional judgment, and the limits of automation.
This program explores how ethical reasoning must evolve alongside technological capability. Participants will examine how AI changes the nature of fraud risk, alters the dynamics of professional skepticism, and introduces new governance challenges in assurance and investigative contexts. Through case-based analysis and practical frameworks, the session highlights how professionals can maintain integrity, transparency, and trust while leveraging advanced analytics and intelligent systems.
The discussion emphasizes the human dimension of fraud work - including ethical decision-making under uncertainty, the psychology of reliance on technology, and the communication challenges associated with AI-informed conclusions. Participants will gain insight into how ethical leadership and critical thinking will define the future credibility of the fraud and assurance professions.

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.
