The important differences in approach, methods and skills required in each of the above pursuits are discussed. Prevention measures also can be addressed. The instruction will include numerous actual case examples and practical exercises.

As with all IACRC training programs, the materials will include numerous actual case examples and practical case exercises.

Conducting a Contract Fraud and Abuse Risk Examination
In order to best protect its contracts from fraud and corruption, an organization must understand the unique risks that it faces as well as its management’s risk tolerance. This start with an entity-specific “Contract Fraud and Abuse Risk Examination.”
This course will equip participants to design and deliver tailored risk examinations that will enable the organization to install effective, cost-reasonable procurement integrity controls consistent with its risk levels and tolerance.

The Procurement Integrity Control System® Model
Today’s business environment is increasingly focused on operational integrity. Entities are working hard to ensure that that their procurement practices are fair, honest and impartial, free from fraud and corruption. Anything less will expose the entity to substantial financial, operational and reputational risk.
This course will teach participants how to assess their procurement policies and procedures and their management systems in order to ensure that they can provide reasonable assurance that the organization can detect, prevent, promptly report and respond to procurement fraud and abuse.

Contracting and the Oversight Role
Every contract involves varying degrees of risk, including the risk of fraud and corruption, waste and abuse. To mitigate these risks, the first step is to understand the procurement system from the perspective of an oversight professional in order to identify the potential risks and mitigation steps.
This course will provide an overview of the procurement process in sufficient detail to enable persons performing the oversight function to identify areas of high level risk. The course also will discuss how to conduct procurement fraud risk assessments and how to protect the organization from fraudulent procurement practices.
