The PwC Uganda Business School is pleased to invite you to an upcoming training session titled “Fraud risk assessment training workshop”, designed to equip participants with a practical, structured, and risk-based approach to identifying, assessing, and managing fraud risks. The workshop will explore the evolving fraud landscape in Uganda and provide participants with practical approaches and tools for conducting fraud risk assessments.

Through practical examples, industry insights, and a hands-on fraud risk assessment exercise, participants will learn how to apply proven methodologies and tools to identify, assess, prioritise, and mitigate fraud risks across their organisations. 

During the session, we will cover the following key areas:

• Overview of the fraud risk landscape in Uganda and emerging fraud schemes.
• Industry perspectives and emerging fraud trends: Insights from an industry representative on the evolving fraud landscape, key threats and leading practices in fraud risk management. 
• Introduction to fraud risk assessment standards, methodologies, and key concepts.
• Practical fraud risk assessment workshop using a model business process and PwC’s web-based Fraud Risk Assessment (FRA) tool, covering:
  • Fraud risk governance assessment: Evaluation of fraud risk governance structures, roles and responsibilities, policies, reporting lines, and oversight mechanisms.
  • Delegation of Authority (DoA) and Segregation of Duties (SoD) analysis to identify control weaknesses and fraud vulnerabilities.
  • Identification of fraud schemes and fraud risk scenarios across the selected process.
  • Assessment and prioritisation of fraud risks using structured risk-rating methodologies.
  • Evaluation of existing controls against prioritised risks and identification of control gaps.
  • Development of risk responses and mitigation measures, including preventive, detective, and corrective controls
• Fraud risk monitoring, escalation, and reporting: Demonstration of the monitoring and reporting functionalities within PwC's Fraud Risk Assessment (FRA) tool, including discussion on developing effective monitoring mechanisms, management reporting, escalation protocols, key fraud risk indicators, and continuous improvement approaches to sustain the fraud risk management framework. 

Participants will work in groups through a realistic case study based on a model business process and use PwC's web-based Fraud Risk Assessment (FRA) tool to perform key fraud risk assessment activities, including risk identification, assessment, and mitigation planning. To facilitate active participation in this practical exercise, attendees are encouraged to bring a laptop, tablet, or smartphone with internet access.

Who should attend?

As fraud risk management cuts across the three lines of defence, organisations are encouraged to nominate representatives from business and operational functions (first line), risk and compliance functions (second line), and internal audit and other assurance providers (third line). Participation by managers and leaders with governance and oversight responsibilities is also encouraged.
