Times of financial downturn or uncertainty are fertile breeding grounds for fraud and 'misdirection': as nerves and greed can create unsuspecting 'fraudsters', who only become so to cover their own tracks and to ease financial pressure. The auditor ultimately gets the blame for 'missing' a key control.

MIS Training's annual flagship conference for auditors will focus on the critical 'need to knows' for audit managers and directors and risk compliance units. Are you sure that you have all your key controls and bases covered? The structure will provide an excellent benchmarking opportunity, and give you access to hear what challenges other auditors are facing, how they are handling current challenges – as well as providing the unique chance to 'go back to basics' and reinvigorate your audit strategy.

• • STREAM A – Practical Initiatives to Fight Fraud
  • STREAM B – Audit's Role in Making a Risk Assessment More Robust
