The Audit plan can be perfect and still fail the business
|
| |
|
The last two weeks of July 2026 have been remarkable as I successfully delivered projects for two leading companies, one in Nigeria and another in Ethiopia.
My career began in internal audit, working under Aguma Mpairwe, one of the most direct, ethical and disciplined professionals I know.

Dear Professional,
Where you study matters.
The CFE is not just an examination. It is a profession. At IFIS, you learn from the pioneers who introduced and built the CFE profession in Uganda and from some of the country's oldest practicing Certified Fraud Examiners with decades of hands-on experience in fraud investigations, anti-money laundering, governance, risk management, and corporate advisory.
Our trainers have investigated major frauds, advised boards, supported regulators, trained thousands of professionals, and helped organizations prevent fraud before it happens. They do not teach theories alone. They teach what works in practice.
At IFIS, we prepare you to master the three CFE sections: Fraud Schemes and Financial Crimes, Fraud Investigations and Legal Issues, and Fraud Prevention and Deterrence. More importantly, we prepare you to become a trusted professional who can protect institutions and advise leaders with confidence.
Many institutions prepare candidates to pass examinations. At IFIS, we prepare professionals to fight fraud and protect trust.
We invite you to join Uganda's most experienced CFE training team and begin your journey to becoming a Certified Fraud Examiner.
Trained by pioneers, built for professionals, and trusted by institutions
