Course Overview

However, there is a risk that these impacts will not be realised because we are in the middle of an era when the sport is being undermined by a range of internal and external corruptive forces, such as doping, gambling, and an increasing number of welfare issues. Robust research is needed to help grow trustworthiness and protect the sport system from fraud, misconduct and non-compliance.

The Sport Forensics research programme, developed and delivered by Abertay University with KPMG, is the first in the world focused on supporting sporting organisations in achieving the highest levels of integrity. The programme uniquely applies a forensic approach to examine where behaviour doesn’t comply with expectations or regulations in sport. Research projects focus on hidden factors that may be impacting negatively within sports organisations.
