Judgments and Decision-making in Fraud and Corruption Investigations

Objective

Investigating fraud and corruption is hard work. In addition to its evidentiary challenges, it sets high standards for sound decision-making and judgment by the professionals involved. Selectors need to assess the credibility of an allegation, investigators should overcome confirmation bias and the prosecutor will have to judge whether the case meets the burden of proof before bringing charges.
These decisions are affected by noise and bias. This seminar will aim at zooming in on the different steps of the investigative process, identifying its most typical risks and proposing tailored mitigating strategies.

Key topics

• Key insights of social and cognitive psychology on how people judge and decide
