Upon course completion, employees will gain a full and clear understanding of:

- The discipline of verifying any bank-detail change on a separate, already-trusted channel
- Why CEO fraud and AI-enabled deepfake payment requests demand more scrutiny, not less
- The red flags of procurement fraud and internal or expense fraud, and basic segregation-of-duties thinking
- How to apply the Stop, Challenge, Protect framework to a live payment-approval moment
- Exactly what to do, and who to tell, if a payment is ever suspected of being fraudulent
Who it is for
Written for finance. No technical background is needed, and nothing in it assumes a previous course.
This course from Blocknorth gives finance and accounting staff a clear, practical understanding of the fraud that specifically targets payments, invoices and expenses, and the verification habits that stop it. No technical background needed: you will learn how invoice fraud, mandate fraud, CEO fraud and AI-enabled deepfake scams really work, how procurement and internal fraud slip past weak controls, and exactly what to do and who to tell if a payment is ever suspected of being fraudulent.
Course contents
4 units. Each ends with a 10-question quiz; 8 correct unlocks the next unit.
Invoice Fraud, Mandate Fraud and Business Email Compromise
- Invoice fraud and mandate fraud properly distinguished, and business email compromise as the delivery mechanism behind both
- Why lookalike domains and genuinely hijacked mailboxes defeat "does the email look right"
- The discipline of verifying any bank-detail change on a separate, already-trusted channel
- The current scale of UK payment fraud, and why bank friction on unusual payments is a control working in your favour
CEO Fraud and AI-Enabled Deepfake Fraud
- Why urgency, secrecy and apparent authority together should trigger more scrutiny, not less
- Why "they asked for it personally" is not a control
- The Arup case: a real, documented deepfake video-call fraud that cost HK$200 million
- Verifying against a fixed process, not a person's face or voice
Procurement Fraud and Internal Controls
- Bid-rigging, kickbacks and a supplier that always wins, without justification
- Internal and expense fraud: inflated claims, ghost employees and redirected payroll
- Segregation of duties and enforced approval limits as practical controls
- The question that helps surface possible collusion: who benefits, and could they have done this alone
Verification, Response and Reporting
- The Stop, Challenge, Protect framework applied to a live payment-approval moment
- What to do in the first minutes if a fraudulent payment is suspected or made
- Exactly who to tell and how to report fraud, using the UK's current channels
- Turning the course into a personal, everyday verification checklist
