SUMMARY:Ethics and the Internal Auditor Course South Africa
DESCRIPTION:Ethics training for internal auditors has never been more critical. South Africa has a well-documented ethics problem — and internal auditors are on the front line. As ethical challenges increase across both private and public sectors\, how auditors handle these challenges determines their own value and their organisation’s value. \nThis ethics and the internal auditor course South Africa contains videos\, case studies\, and practical exercises that promote discussion of potential ethical dilemmas auditors may encounter — and how to audit the ethical climate of an organisation. Structured across 4 modules\, this ethics and the internal auditor course South Africa moves progressively from global\, to country\, to organisational\, to personal ethical considerations. \n\nWho Should Attend?\nLevel 1 — Entry or introductory level for those requiring a fundamental understanding of the subject. \nLevel 2 — Internal auditors who are already practicing internal audit and have a basic understanding of the subject. \nLevel 3 — Supervisory/competent/senior internal auditors: those who already have a sound\, practical grasp of the fundamentals of internal auditing and manage staff. \nPlease review the content and course levels before booking to ensure you are attending the right course. \n\nCourse Content\nModule 1 — Ethical Decision-Making \n\nWhat the new 2025 Global Internal Audit Standards (GIAS) say as they relate to ethics and internal auditors\nWhat is ethics?\nEthics & moral reasoning\nWhy people obey or break laws and rules\nCan ethics be legislated?\nDo we need ethics training?\nCan ethics be taught?\nWhat defines an ethical hero?\n\nModule 2 — King V on Ethics & Fraud \n\nThe relationship between fraud and ethics\nKey differences between King IV & King V™\nKing V™ corporate governance principles relating to fraud & ethics unpacked and compared to current global best practice\nPractical application of key King V™ principles relating to fraud & ethics for private and public sectors\nKing V™ disclosure\nAftermath of private & public sector case studies\n\nModule 3 — Evaluating Your Ethical Environment \n\nThe ethics of AI\nHow auditors can measure the 8 critical elements of an ethics governance programme\nReporting results to management — choosing a maturity model\nThe DPSA Guide to Managing Ethics in the Public Sector\nBenchmarking your code of ethics and conduct\n\nModule 4 — Critical Life Skills for Internal Auditors \n\nCritical thinking\nEthical dilemma models\nHow to give voice to your values — 7 pillars\nPersuasion skills — 7 key principles\nCommunication — using art for observation\, analysis and communication\n\n\nDetails\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDate\n19 – 20 November 2026\nTime\nRegistration from 08:15\nDuration\n2 Days\nCPD Hours\n16\nPresenter\nMario Fazekas CFE\, LPEC\nOnline Registration Closes\n19 November 2026\nEvent Category\nCPD / Ethics & Governance\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact: \nLeadership Academy\nProject Coordinator: CPD and Events\nneo@governanceacademy.co.za | 011 609 1761 Ext 411

SUMMARY:Why Cutting Anti-Fraud Training Now Is Penny-Wise\, Pound-Foolish
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve had a training course cancelled this year because of “no budget\,” you’re not alone — it’s the reason we’re hearing more than any other right now. \nBut here’s the problem: fraudsters don’t answer to a budget committee. While organisations tighten their belts\, criminal networks are investing in AI-generated deepfakes\, automated phishing\, and OSINT tools to target the very gaps that under-resourced teams leave open. \nThis article explains why cutting anti-fraud\, risk\, and audit training now is a penny-wise\, pound-foolish move — and more usefully\, how to reposition your department from a cost centre to a profit centre so that leadership actually approves the budget next time you ask. \n\nWhat’s Inside the Article\n📌 What P&G\, Netflix\, Amazon\, and Lego did differently during the 2008 downturn — and what Coca-Cola’s 2020 ad cut cost them by comparison \n📌 The five categories of financial impact most risk and audit teams already deliver but rarely report \n📌 A one-page ROI summary template your team can use to build the business case for your own training budget \n📌 Two ready-to-use email templates for submitting a training request that leadership will actually take seriously \n\nDownload the Article\n👉 Download the full article here \n\nUpcoming Anti-Fraud Training Course\nProactive OSINT Investigations\n📅 25 – 27 November 2026\n📍 Definitive Conferencing\, Corner of Definitive Lane & Kruin Street\, Harmelia\, Isando\, Gauteng \n👉 Download the Anti-Fraud Training Catalogue \n\nAbout the Author\nMario Fazekas CFE\, LPEC\nOwner — AuditLink Training and Consulting \n📧 mario.fazekas@auditlink.net\n🌐 auditlink.net\n📞 +27 (0) 83 611 0161 \nFeel free to share this article with colleagues who are fighting the same budget battle.
