Your questions, answered

How can I ensure employees are aware of our Fraud Prevention policies and procedures? 

Our Policy Hub makes it easy to distribute your Fraud Prevention policies to all employees and track their acknowledgement. You can set up automated reminders to ensure that employees review and agree to comply with these policies, providing a clear record of engagement to support compliance.

How can employees report suspicions of fraud anonymously?

Our Whistleblowing Register provides a secure and anonymous platform for employees to report any suspicions of fraud. This tool ensures that employees can raise concerns without fear of retaliation, allowing your organisation to address potential issues promptly and transparently.

Are the courses SCORM-compliant?

Yes. This means they can be delivered via the Skillcast Portal or any other SCORM-compliant Learning Management System.

What other tools are needed beyond training?

A comprehensive compliance solution often needs more than just training. Alongside e-learning, tools like declarationssurveys, and registers that track compliance tasks are usually essential. Skillcast provides full support to help you set up these additional tools.

Can users only view the courses assigned to them?

Yes. Users can view all the courses in the portal that have been assigned to them as either mandatory or optional. Courses that are mandatory will have a deadline shown.
