Are you confident your organisation can detect, respond to, and prevent financial statement fraud, asset misappropriation, and corruption before it triggers regulatory penalties, reputational damage, or material financial loss? The average organisation loses 5% of revenue annually to fraud, according to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE), and most cases go undetected for 18 months. Without a structured, repeatable fraud examination process, you risk missing red flags, failing audits, or facing legal consequences during investigations. The Fraud Examination Toolkit gives compliance managers, internal auditors, and risk officers a comprehensive, standards-aligned system to implement forensic analysis, strengthen controls, and lead investigations with confidence, ensuring you’re not the last to know fraud is happening in your organisation.
What You Receive
- A 250+ question Fraud Examination Self-Assessment aligned with the ACFE’s Fraud Prevention Check-Up and the COSO Internal Control Framework, enabling you to benchmark your programme across 12 maturity domains including risk assessment, detection controls, whistleblower mechanisms, and investigation protocols
- 18 editable implementation templates in Microsoft Word and Excel: Fraud Risk Assessment Matrix, Suspected Fraud Incident Report Form, Investigation Work Plan, Employee Interview Script, Control Gap Remediation Tracker, and Whistleblower Policy Template
- A fully customisable Excel-based Maturity Diagnostic Dashboard that auto-calculates risk exposure scores, control effectiveness ratings, and improvement priorities across financial reporting, procurement, payroll, and revenue cycles
- Step-by-step Fraud Examination Work Plan with 68 defined actions across six phases: Incident Triage, Evidence Collection, Forensic Interviewing, Data Analysis, Reporting, and Legal Handover, each with clear owner roles, timelines, and success criteria

How This Helps You
This toolkit turns fragmented fraud responses into a proactive, auditable defence programme. With its structured assessment and ready-to-use templates, you can conduct a full fraud control review in under 48 hours, identify critical gaps before regulators or auditors do, and build a documented investigation trail that holds up under legal scrutiny. You’ll reduce investigation cycle times by standardising evidence collection, improve employee reporting rates with clear policies, and demonstrate due diligence to boards and external assessors. Without such a system, your organisation remains vulnerable to undetected fraud, regulatory censure under laws like SOX or the UK Bribery Act, and loss of stakeholder trust. The cost of inaction isn’t just financial, it’s operational credibility.
