Overview:
This course provides a comprehensive
review of the disciplines of Forensic Analysis and the determination
of the nature and degree of controls required in each situation.
This course provides background and
detailed "how to" review of the three steps in the forensic
analysis process:
Assessment
|
The level of risk associated with a
specified domain, system, operation or revenue stream
|
|
The root cause
of a specified problem , leakage or risk |
|
Measurement or
estimation of the degree of risk or loss |
|
Definition of the ‘Revenue at Risk” KPI
|
Containment
|
The determination of the appropriate level
of control to accomplish the level of risk and the containment that
management requires at the cost and with the rationalization
required |
|
Identification of alternative control and
containment scenarios |
Reporting
|
Providing management with a quantified,
rationalized and well documented set of alternatives for the
management of the case |
The course
provides students with a step – by – step guide to accomplishing
these objectives in line with industry standard practice.
