Course Overview

Revenue Assurance and Fraud Management in Telecommunications is a critical training program designed to empower professionals with the expertise to address financial vulnerabilities in one of the most dynamic industries—telecommunications. This comprehensive course by Pideya Learning Academy focuses on equipping participants with the knowledge and skills required to identify, analyze, and mitigate revenue leakages and fraudulent activities, ensuring organizational sustainability and growth. In an industry where global telecom revenues exceeded $1.4 trillion in 2023 and are expected to grow with the increasing adoption of 5G and IoT technologies, the cost of fraud has also risen dramatically. A recent industry report revealed that telecommunications fraud alone costs organizations over $28 billion annually, emphasizing the urgent need for proactive and skilled revenue assurance and fraud management professionals.
The course delves into the dual aspects of Revenue Assurance (RA) and Fraud Management, both of which are indispensable for maximizing profitability and minimizing revenue losses. Revenue Assurance is a systematic approach to enhancing profitability by addressing data quality issues, improving processes, and recovering revenue without imposing additional demands. Fraud Management, on the other hand, involves identifying, mitigating, and preventing fraudulent activities to safeguard revenue streams. Together, these domains not only enhance organizational financial health but also ensure compliance with regulatory standards, which are becoming increasingly stringent worldwide.
At Pideya Learning Academy, the training adopts a multi-faceted approach to ensure participants gain a deep understanding of modern RA and fraud management practices. This includes the exploration of advanced tools, methodologies, and frameworks that align with global best practices. Key highlights of the training include:
