About the programme

Fraud is occurring on a colossal scale — preventing it before it occurs has never been more important. The CIPFA Certificate in Fraud Risk Management (CFRM) gives you the knowledge to understand the principles of corporate governance and risk management as they relate to fraud risk, control and prevention. It builds on the skills of experienced counter fraud specialists, audit professionals and risk and compliance managers. The CFRM is a professional accredited qualification created by experts in fraud risk management.

Delegates achieving both the CFRM and the Accredited Counter Fraud Specialist will be awarded the CIPFA Diploma in Counter Fraud Management.
