Course Overview

This advanced professional course provides a practical and analytical framework for detecting, assessing, and managing insurance fraud using data-driven techniques. It focuses on transforming insurance data into actionable fraud intelligence that enables organizations to identify suspicious patterns, prioritize investigations, reduce fraudulent losses, and strengthen fraud prevention across the insurance lifecycle. The course explores how data from policies, underwriting, claims, customer interactions, payments, intermediaries, providers, and other relevant sources can be analyzed to identify anomalies and potential fraud indicators. Participants will learn how to combine business knowledge, risk indicators, statistical analysis, behavioral patterns, and investigative judgment to improve fraud detection and decision-making. Particular attention is given to claims fraud analytics, anomaly detection, fraud scoring, rule-based detection, pattern analysis, network relationships, outlier identification, predictive indicators, and the development of fraud risk models. The course also addresses data quality, false positives, model effectiveness, investigation prioritization, and the governance of analytical fraud detection processes. Through practical exercises, insurance fraud scenarios, analytical case studies, and a final workshop, participants will develop a structured fraud analytics framework capable of supporting early detection, investigation prioritization, loss prevention, management reporting, and continuous improvement of insurance fraud controls.
