Understanding Fraud & Identity Threats in Financial Services

Introduction

Fraud and financial crime are an ever-growing threat, requiring growing levels of investment in preventive measures from financial service firms and impacting the lives of millions of ordinary people.

The UK government reports that 41% of all reported crime is now fraud and economic crime. Recent legislation places further obligations on companies to prevent fraud and widens the scope of corporate liability, placing additional regulatory burdens on business owners and managers.

This webinar will look at current trends in financial fraud and identity threats, changes in UK law and what measures managers and compliance teams need to take to comply with their legal obligations. It will also look at how fraudsters operate in the real world and what practical steps you can take to mitigate the risk of your organisation falling victim to fraud.
