Nigel Iyer
Biography
For 25 years as a Fraud Detective, Nigel has passionately, some will say pathologically, helped organizations across the world recognise and resolve fraud. He teaches all who will, to do the same. He has developed several “Defence against the Commercial Dark Arts” courses, written three books as well as fraud games, dramas and plays, all designed to make the tools of the fraud detective and “fraud resolver” accessible to all. Nigel Iyer is an English Chartered Accountant, Computer Scientist and Dramatist, as well as a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants. Whilst it is well known that the cost of fraud is massive, corrosive and rising, and affects all our organisations Nigel believes that it far too important a cost to be tackled late or left to specialists alone. “Every single member of the financial community should be able to spot the warning signs of fraud early be it a greedy supplier, customer or middleman, false figures, front companies, criminal involvement and of course our own colleagues with an “over-developed sense of entitlement”. The mantra: “Stop fraud early and save costs soon quickly” together with a combination of early detection, effective investigations which leverage the power of data and remote tools” is more important now than ever before. Nigel believes that everyone of us is a Fraud Detective at heart, and particularly, anyone who managers uses, or deals with money in an organisation should use and develop their skills to help guard the organisation from non-essential costs and harm.
