TRAINING COURSE

CATALOGUE for
January-June 2018
Introduction
AuditLink is a collaboration of top management consultants from Exactech
Forensics and LVH Consulting who have been training management and
employees for many years.

Most of our short courses are driven not by unit standard content, but by
the needs of busy business people who do not have the luxury of taking a
week off for training.

Hence, our short-course content is intensive, current and practical. We also

have courses of longer durations for those who want more comprehensive
technical training.

Even though these courses are seen as ‘unaccredited training’, you can still
claim the course costs from your SETA using the first 20% of your SDL
levies.

These public courses will be held at the Ruimsig Golf View Manor, a 4-star
establishment with secure parking and that is ideally situated between the
R28 / N14 Krugerdorp-Pretoria freeway and the N1 Western Bypass
freeway. The venue is also close to Lanseria Airport, has excellent food, free
WiFi and offers accommodation for out of town delegates.
In-House Training
Many of our clients have multiple employees that require training on a
certain topic so any of our courses can therefore be run as on-site training.
The 5-C’s advantages are as follows:

1. Customised Training – the course content is tailored specifically to

your organisation’s needs.

2. Convenience - the training is run at a time and place of your choosing

(usually at your organisation’s premises).

3. Consistent Quality – training all your employees together means you

can be sure of the consistency of their learning and development.

4. Confidentiality - your staff members can feel free to discuss sensitive

matters (and may even prefer learning with their colleagues).

5. Cost-effective - in-house training typically means a discount of

between 20% to 50% off our advertised public training course prices,
dependent on the number of delegates. If you have 10 or more
delegates interested in one of our courses, we can run on-site training
for you anywhere in Africa. In addition, you also save on travel and
accommodation costs for your employees.

ADDING VALUE THROUGH ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS AVRCA

Starting your career in internal auditing, or looking to brush up on your knowledge of root
cause identification and assessment? Then join us for the root cause identification and
assessment course.

Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is a tool that can be used by auditors to report
on, resolve and prevent costly problems. Once the root cause has been
addressed, it prevents an undesirable problem from recurring.

You can save your organisation potentially thousands or millions, as an

expert and trained authority on implementing RCA. By attending this course,
you will learn how to correct the root cause of problems, rather than merely
addressing the symptoms.

The course is for anyone new to internal auditing or Auditors who already
have a basic understanding & who are already practicing internal auditing.

This course is presented by Leani van Heerden who qualified as a Certified Internal Auditor in 2001. She also
completed the Certification Programme in Control Self-Assessment and obtained the accreditation in Quality
Assessment. Leani has extensive experience spanning over 23 years in internal audit, management consulting,
training/facilitation, staffing and recruitment spanning from the public to the private sector, and consulting.

CONTROL SELF ASSESSMENT CSA
This original training programme has been designed to address the most critical components of Control
Risk Self-Assessment (“CSA”). The programme, for auditors & non-auditors, provides a unique and dynamic
learning experience with the opportunity to gain a further business advantage through Risk, Corporate
Governance & Control training to all levels of management and employees.

The purpose of the training is to provide the organisation with the

fundamental (theoretical) knowledge regarding Risk management, internal
control and CSA, but with a view to enable them to practically apply these
principles on their return to the workplace by implementing CSA as a tool.
This tool will enhance the Internal Control Environment, reduce risk exposure
and optimise audit assurance with limited resources. The nature of the
training is therefore very practical and highly interactive to ensure that all
participants participate in the discussions and sharing of ideas and
experiences. Participants will perform a case study in a work group and
present their results to the group (subject to time constraints).

This course is presented by Leani van Heerden who qualified as a Certified Internal Auditor in 2001. She also
completed the Certification Programme in Control Self-Assessment and obtained the accreditation in Quality
Assessment. Leani has extensive experience spanning over 23 years in internal audit, management consulting,
training/facilitation, staffing and recruitment spanning from the public to the private sector, and consulting.

ETHICS FOR AUDITORS EFA
Why is there so much fraud & corruption in the world? Because there is so little ethics! As
Chief Justice Mogoeng said; “Ethical leadership is not an option, but a national imperative”

In this course, you will learn about the ethical challenges we

all face daily and the consequences of each decision we
make. Examine instances where failures in ethical leadership
have ruined businesses and lives of many while a few got rich
and also take a look into the drivers of unethical behaviour.
Last, we will look at ethical dilemmas, discuss strategies for
evaluating the ethical culture in our organisations and how to
evaluate and/or create a best-practice code of ethics.

The course is presented by Mario Fazekas, a Certified Fraud Examiner, who has nearly 20 years’ experience in the
prevention, detection & investigation of fraud. He is a director at Exactech Forensics and spent 6 years at one of the
big-four auditing firms where he headed up the fraud prevention function for their biggest global internal audit client.

FRAUD INVESTIGATIONS FI
“Fraud has become pandemic around the world and if fraud were a disease, political leaders of
all our nations would have to declare a global health emergency!” - Jeffrey Robinson,
international expert on organized crime & fraud

To deal with this challenge, we have developed training, specifically addressing proactive
activities an organization can undertake to increase its ability to respond to fraud incidents. This
training is based on the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners Fraud Examiners Manual,
which is the global standard for the anti-fraud profession. The ACFE Certified Fraud Examiners
International Exam has been accredited with SAQA (Qualification ID-67269) at a NQF 7 level.

The 2000-page ACFE manual is divided into four main sections, 1) Law, 2) Investigations, 3) Fraud
Prevention & Deterrence and 4) Financial Transactions & Fraud Schemes. This course focuses on
Fraud Investigations and provides the basic tools and techniques necessary to gather
information and evidence when conducting a fraud examination and identifying perpetrators.

This course is a supplemental study tool for the CFE Exam Prep course and for finance, audit,
ethics, compliance and risk staff who want to increase their anti-fraud knowledge.

The course is presented by Mario Fazekas, a Certified Fraud Examiner, who has nearly 20 years’ experience in the

aspects relating to internal auditing.

This cradle to grave internal auditing course will

fundamentals of internal auditing, risk management
and internal control. The course will enable
delegates to function more effectively as internal
auditors and to better understand the role of
internal auditing for those delegates who are not
auditors by profession. The course is developed to

INTERNET & SOCIAL MEDIA RISKS ISMR

With the popularity of social media in the business world, you need to be prepared for the risks social
networking can pose. Since staff will use social media (with or without company approval) as well as
criminals, it’s crucial to know the risks, establish company guidelines and monitor the internet regularly.

This course looks at reputational, legal

and fraud risks of using the various
internet and social media platforms.

The workshop provides practical

advice for organisations & employees
when posting info, how to prevent
external social media attacks such as
spam, phishing & malware and how to
monitor the web for early notification
of any personal or confidential
information being made available.

The course is presented by Mario Fazekas, a Certified Fraud Examiner, who has nearly 20 years’ experience in the
prevention, detection & investigation of fraud. He is a director at Exactech Forensics and spent 6 years at one of the

INTERPERSONAL SKILLS TRAINING IST
Interpersonal Skills are critical in the workplace. Internal / External Auditors deal with people on a daily
basis – as part of an audit team and sometimes with difficult clients. We need to manage our relationships
on a continued basis to be effective.

A successful auditor needs technical skills, but even

more so, the ability to relate to others, to
communicate, to interview, to market your services,
deal with conflict situations and to present your
audit findings. This course deals with interpersonal
skills for everyone – not just for the auditor. It
addresses the fundamental principles of
communication and conflict management skills to
improve your effectiveness as an individual.

This course is presented by Leani van Heerden who qualified as a Certified Internal Auditor in 2001. She also
completed the Certification Programme in Control Self-Assessment and obtained the accreditation in Quality
Assessment. Leani has extensive experience spanning over 23 years in internal audit, management consulting,

INTERVIEWING TO DETECT DECEPTION IDD
Over 80% of people embellish their CV (hrexpert.com). 68% of SA respondents witnessed the submission of
false qualifications (2016 PWC survey). Recruiters expect 35% of a CV to be false (recruitmentpros.org).
Over 1 million fake degrees have been sold via 300 online diploma mills (Degree Mills, by Allen Ezell)

Getting recruitment decisions right is essential at the best of times but with
the current economic uncertainty, it presents even greater challenges for
Human Resource professionals. During employment interviews, we seek an
open and honest exchange of information with applicants who often lie to get
the job. To further complicate matters, applicants will go to great lengths to
learn impression management skills and interviewers are often poorly
prepared to combat the job seeker's ability to mislead them. This course will
better prepare you for this by teaching non-confrontational and reliable
interviewing techniques. You will also learn the basics to becoming a human
lie-detector by understanding how to verify CVs and read the various facets of
body language to detect deception in conversation or during interviews.

The course is presented by Mario Fazekas, a Certified Fraud Examiner, who has nearly 20 years’ experience in the
prevention and detection of fraud and commercial crimes. He is a director at Exactech Forensics and spent 6 years at
one of the big-four auditing firms where he headed up the fraud prevention function for their biggest global internal
audit client. Mario provides regular training for the Institute of Internal Auditors, the South African Institute of
Chartered Accountants and for many private & public-sector organisations.

KING IV™: WHAT’S NEW RELATING TO FRAUD & ETHICS
KING

Doing business & making a profit ethically should not be seen as ‘one of the options’ but as the only option
as it is at the core of Corporate Governance and many people don’t realise the original name of the
Treadway Commission (the beginning of modern Corporate Governance, in 1985) was the National
Commission on Management Fraud!

This course examines King IV™ and extracts

all the ethics and fraud related principles that
organisations need to be aware of.

Delegates will gain an understanding of a

practical framework for implementing
successful Corporate Governance relating to
fraud & ethics.

The course is presented by Mario Fazekas, a Certified Fraud Examiner, who has nearly 20 years’ experience in the

PRESENTATION & FACILITATION SKILLS TRAINING FOR THE AUDITOR PFST
It is imperative for an internal, external and forensic auditor to have effective presentation and facilitation
skills. Auditors must present their results on a regular basis and must facilitate the discussions with their
audit teams and with clients.

A successful auditor needs technical skills, but even more so, the ability to
relate to others, to communicate, to present and to facilitate.

This course deals with interpersonal skills for everyone – not just for the
auditor. It addresses the fundamental principles of presentation and
facilitation skills to improve your effectiveness as an individual.

The course is highly interactive and will provide participants with the
opportunity to create present and facilitate in a ‘safe’ classroom
environment.

This course is presented by Leani van Heerden who qualified as a Certified Internal Auditor in 2001. She also
completed the Certification Programme in Control Self-Assessment and obtained the accreditation in Quality

PREVENTING & DETECTING OCCUPATIONAL FRAUD
PDOC
“If you asked a group of typical accountants what deters fraud, they would respond in
unison: ‘Internal control!’ Using this logic, companies with adequate controls would
not have fraud. But they do, time & again” – Joe Wells, founder of the ACFE

Internal Controls ≠ Fraud Prevention!

This course will explain the various schemes used by employees, managers, directors, &
organised criminals to defraud organisations. It will quantify the losses from these
schemes and scams; it will illustrate the human factors in fraud and will equip delegates
with proven techniques in fraud prevention and detection so that they will be able to
Image courtesy of Stuart Miles
better manage these challenges in everyday business. According to the ACFE,
at FreeDigitalPhotos.net
organizations are losing an average of 5% of their annual revenues to fraud, so
preventing fraud can increase your organisation's financial performance as well as help
to protect it from reputational catastrophe that major fraud often causes.

The course is presented by Mario Fazekas, a Certified Fraud Examiner, who has nearly 20 years’ experience in the
prevention, detection & investigation of fraud. He is a director at Exactech Forensics and spent 6 years at one of the
