CPE Hour: 1
Synopsis
Internal Audit is entering a new era, shaped by digital transformation and increasingly sophisticated fraud schemes operating at unprecedented speed and scale.
This webinar explores how technology is reshaping the fraud landscape, from deepfake video scams and synthetic identities to fully automated phantom vendors capable of bypassing traditional controls. It examines the role of generative, agentic and conversational tools in amplifying fraud capability, and highlights why many audit functions remain underprepared.
The session shifts from awareness to action.
Participants will gain practical insight into detection strategies, behavioural risk indicators, advanced monitoring approaches, and ways to position Internal Audit as a forward-looking strategic partner.
The focus is on fluency, preparedness and leading confidently in a complex risk environment.
