IIA Estonia invites you to participate in a course “How to predict, identify, understand and remove fraud and corruption– a human approach to making your organization robust!”
A 1-day, hands-on course for auditors, risk managers, compliance specialists…in fact everyone who wishes to play a part in removing the harmful effects of fraud and corruption.
As we enter 2026, curbing corruption and fraud has become one of our greatest challenges alongside achieving lasting peace, restoring the health of our beautiful planet, reducing hunger and poverty, and, arguably, not letting artificial intelligence dominate us.
All organizations are constantly hit by fraud and corruption. The perpetrators include, unscrupulous suppliers, customers, intermediaries, third parties and opportunists, and also employees who exploit loopholes for a personal benefit. This all comes under that huge umbrella of things we call wrong-doing or “fraud” in the widest sense of the word.
What does not help much is even more paper rules and regulations leading to blind “box-ticking”, denial that fraud and corruption does not “happen to us” and a lingering desire to “pin the blame on someone”. Instead, what we need are real actions which contribute to dramatically reducing the impact of fraud and corruption, build organizational robustness, and contribute to a better and more fraud (and corruption) free planet!
So, join us and learn how to:
Understanding fraud and corruption risks
Recognise the extent, nature, and main types of fraud and corruption affecting organisations today
Understand emerging fraud trends and where fraud is most likely to occur
Identifying the most likely scenarios using the “think-like-a-thief” approach
Develop a unique fraud and corruption risk profile of your organization
Practical Exercise: Develop a Fraud and Corruption Profile (as a ranked snapshot of your organizations own fraud and corruption risks)
Learn how to use and maintain the fraud and corruption profile as a tool to combatting fraud and corruption throughout your organization
Apply Early Detection or “Find Fraud and Corruption BEFORE it finds you”
NOT “wait for the whistleblower” (it’s the detection tool of last resort!)
Identify key indicators, triggers, and relevant data points (including within payment and accounting data)
Effectively use Open-Source Information
Apply the mantra “follow the money”
Develop your own alerts and suspicious activity reports
AI and Fraud Detection: Short practical exercises. Examples and pros and cons (discussion)
Implement effective resolution techniques
Design effective alerts and suspicious activity reports
Apply resolution techniques and appropriate countermeasures based on best practices
Short practical exercises:
Improve fraud-related reporting to management and stakeholders
Draft example alerts and response actions
Engage your whole organization in combatting corruption and fraud
Develop end-to-end best practices across the fraud management process across the whole organization…primarily the 1st and also 2nd defensive lines
Develop your own engaging internal training (yes you can do it!)
The course itself will be highly interactive, including group work, realistic case studies, simulations and brainstorming and fraud detective exercises. The course will begin with a 40 minute online “primer” to be completed before (the primer course will be sent out 1 week before the course).
As your host Nigel Iyer (see biography below) maintains “Everyone is a Fraud Detective…and everyone should be one”

Nigel Iyer (biography)
For over 25 years as a Fraud Detective, Nigel has passionately, some will say pathologically, helped organizations across the world recognize and resolve fraud. He teaches all who will do the same. He has developed several “Defense against the Commercial Dark Arts” courses, written three books as well as fraud games, dramas and plays, all designed to make the tools of the fraud detective and “fraud resolver” accessible to all. Nigel Iyer is an English Chartered Accountant, Computer Scientist and Dramatist.
Whilst it is well known that the cost of fraud is massive, corrosive and rising, and affects all our organizations, Nigel believes that it is far too important a cost to be tackled by specialists alone. “Every single member of the financial community should be able to spot the warning signs of fraud early, be it a greedy supplier, customer or middleman, false figures, front companies, criminal involvement and of course our own colleagues with an “over-developed sense of entitlement”. The mantra: “Stop fraud early and save costs” together with a combination of early detection, effective investigations which leverage the power of data and remote tools is more important now than ever before.
Nigel believes that every one of us is a Fraud Detective at heart, and particularly, anyone who manages, uses, or deals with money in an organization should use and develop their skills to help guard their organization from non-essential costs and harm.
