Fraud prevention is more than having controls in place. It depends on people knowing how fraud happens, recognising the warning signs and understanding what to do when something doesn't look right.

Skillcast provides expert-led, flexible online fraud prevention and Failure to Prevent Fraud (FTPF) training that's ready to roll out across your organisation or can be tailored to your specific risks and requirements. Strengthen your fraud prevention controls and reduce exposure to fraud risk.

Fraud Prevention for Managers
Internal fraud is normally detected by a manager noticing a pattern rather than by a control catching a transaction. Managers who have not been shown the red flags tend to explain them away. Training the supervisory layer separately gives you detection capability where the visibility actually is, and supports the reasonable procedures defence your organisation may need to rely on.
See the course
Fraud Prevention E-learning Course
Fraud usually needs three things: pressure, opportunity and a rationalisation. Staff cannot influence the first, but they routinely create or close the second. Making the whole workforce aware of what opportunity looks like is a cheaper control than adding another approval step, and it strengthens the prevention procedures your organisation may need to demonstrate.
See the course
Understanding Failure to Prevent Fraud (FTPF) for Managers
The offence attaches to the organisation, and the only defence is having had reasonable prevention procedures in place. Procedures that exist on paper but are not understood by managers will not meet that test. Training the management layer gives your organisation both a working control and the evidence that the defence was genuinely constructed rather than assembled after an incident.
See the course
Understanding Failure to Prevent Fraud (FTPF) in Financial Services for Managers
Financial services firms act through a wide network of employees, appointed representatives, introducers and outsourced providers, and the offence follows that reach. Managers who oversee those relationships are the control point. Training them properly is how a firm turns a policy statement into the reasonable procedures defence, which is the only protection available once a fraud has already occurred.
See the course
Fraud Prevention
Fraud exploits distance. Multi-jurisdiction groups create gaps between where a transaction is approved and where it is checked, and that is where losses accumulate. Training staff consistently across locations closes those gaps faster than adding another approval layer, and it produces the shared vocabulary needed for suspicions to travel up the organisation rather than stall locally.

Understanding Failure to Prevent Fraud (FTPF) in Insurance for Managers
Insurance distribution runs through brokers, agents, appointed representatives and third party administrators, all of whom may be acting on the firm's behalf for the purposes of this offence. That is a wider net than most firms have assessed. Training managers who own those relationships is the practical route to a defence that will hold under scrutiny.
See the course
Financial Integrity
Reporting failures usually begin as small judgements: revenue recognised slightly early, a cost classified conveniently, an accrual left in place. Each is defensible alone and indefensible as a pattern. Giving staff outside finance a working understanding of how the numbers are built means questionable entries get challenged at source, which is where correction costs nothing.
See the course
Understanding Failure to Prevent Fraud (FTPF)
Liability attaches to the organisation where fraud is committed by someone acting on its behalf, and reasonable prevention procedures form the defence. Those procedures have to be understood by the people operating them to count. Delivering this course across the workforce builds both the control itself and the documented awareness that supports the defence if it is ever tested.
See the course
Understanding Failure to Prevent Fraud (FTPF) in Financial Services
Failure to Prevent Fraud (FTPF) is a corporate offence that holds organisations criminally liable if they do not have reasonable measures in place to stop fraud committed by someone acting on their behalf. Our Understanding Failure to Prevent Fraud Course explains how the offence works, what types of fraud are covered, and what steps our Company and employees must take to help prevent it. The course will help employees understand their role in protecting the organisation from liability and reputational harm.
See the course
Understanding Failure to Prevent Fraud (FTPF) in Insurance
Insurance business flows through brokers, agents, appointed representatives and third party administrators, many of whom act on the firm's behalf for the purposes of this offence. Claims and premium handling also create direct opportunity. Training staff on how the offence operates supports the reasonable procedures defence and strengthens the counter-fraud controls insurers already maintain.
See the course
Fraud Prevention
Fraud methods evolve faster than annual training does, particularly around invoice redirection and impersonation. Staff who completed a full course eighteen months ago will remember the principle and not the indicators. A short refresher keeps the red flags current across the workforce and supports the reasonable prevention procedures the Failure to Prevent Fraud offence requires organisations to maintain.
See the course
Identity Crime
Identity fraud makes up the largest share of fraud recorded on the National Fraud Database, and organisations are both a target and a source, since stolen employee and customer data enables the next attack. Staff who recognise the indicators protect themselves and the organisation at the same time, which makes this one of the more directly useful things to train a workforce on.
See the course
Understanding Failure to Prevent Fraud (FTPF)
Reasonable prevention procedures are the defence, and a defence resting on training completed two years ago is weaker than one supported by a current cycle. Fraud methods also move quickly. A short annual refresher keeps awareness live across the workforce at proportionate cost, and produces the dated records that make the defence demonstrable rather than assertable.
See the course
Abuse of Position
The offence catches conduct people do not think of as fraud: diverting an opportunity, favouring a connected supplier, using access for private benefit. Anyone in a position of trust can commit it, which covers most of a workforce. Making the boundary explicit protects individuals from a criminal record they did not see coming.
