1. David Alexander Fraud Education Program Outline
In October 2003 I was convicted of fraud and various other economic offenses in
the amount of R372 million and sentenced to 15 years imprisonment following a
plea and sentence agreement with the State.
I was paroled on the 30th July 2008.
I now dedicate my time to the prevention of fraud and economic crime through
training and education.
Training and education is the key to the success of any fraud defence strategy
and fraud prevention program.
The only effective defence against fraud is comprehensive, in depth training and
education in fraud recognition and prevention so that everybody is empowered
to fight fraud.
I provide the opportunity for you and your organisation to learn from an expert
in the field with proven personal experience and expertise.
I design and implement fraud prevention training mechanisms and programs
based on my personal experience of fraud, business and economic crime to
assist my clients in the protection of their business interests.
I provide my clients with an “insider” perspective that is invaluable in
fraud prevention training and education.
My programs and presentations are underpinned by my own personal
experience, knowledge and expertise of fraud and economic crime. They will
enable the client to “get into the mind” of a fraudster and understand the road
to moral decline and fraud.
All programs are all illustrated by examples from my own compelling personal
story which gives my presentations added impact and efficacy
In addition they are illustrated with current examples from the world of fraud.
I also bring knowledge on all aspects of fraud and economic crime garnered from
my intimate exposure to fraudsters and economic criminals whilst I was in jail.
All my knowledge, experience and expertise are put together in a unique service
offering for my client.

Every talk, presentation or lecture is specifically tailored to the needs of the
client.
Research
I conduct continual research to ensure that clients stay ahead of developing
trends in economic crime. This ensures that the fraud prevention training and
education programs I present take account of the latest trends and types of
fraud and economic crime.
Personal Interaction Forum
I provide a personal interaction forum where clients can engage me in a question
and answer session on a more informal basis to ask any questions that they may
have that they may feel are not appropriate in a general training session.
This program is especially suitable for board and senior management level
executives in the process of designing or implementing a fraud prevention
policy.
This is the forum where the truly difficult questions get asked and answered.
Programs, Presentations, Workshops and Seminars
My programs are compiled from a number of topics. Programs are composed by
combining topics according to the needs of the audience, the available time and
the purpose of the presentation.
Programs and presentations can be between 1 hour and 3 days depending on
the topics selected and the detail required by the client.
Topics are as follows:
Corporate ethics and culture, morality, good governance and fraud – the
role of corporate ethics, culture and morality in the active promotion of fraud in
a company. The connection between corporate ethics and culture, fraud and
fraud prevention in a company. The role of good governance in fraud prevention
and the fraud management program.
