Theft and Fraud Prevention Programme
Readiness training. Guarding.Tech does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
Most organisations deal with theft and fraud only after a loss. Someone notices a shortage, there is a hunt for the culprit, a person may be dismissed, and then everyone forgets until the next loss. That cycle is expensive, and it rarely fixes the weakness that allowed the loss. A manager's job is to replace it with a programme: clear rules, controls built into the way work is done, safe ways to speak up, regular testing, and fair action when something is found.
Focus: reduce opportunity, make honest reporting easy and safe, test your controls before a thief does, and act the same way every time.
Learning objectives
- Explain the difference between theft and fraud, and why people commit them.
- Use the fraud triangle to decide where controls will work best.
- Recognise personal and organisational red flags without treating them as proof.
- Describe common fraud patterns by business function, including in security agencies.
- Design controls: separation of duties, approval limits, reconciliations and independent counts.
- Set up a reporting channel that people trust.
- Test the programme and respond to a case fairly and consistently.
