Next week is Fraud Awareness Week and the SFO is running a webinar series
We have written about how scams are on the rise in NZ and how the NZ banking sector has announced new measures in the fight against fraud. Now a recent Grant Thornton New Zealand survey has found only 41% of business owners, leaders and decision makers undertake specific planning for fraud risk, so there’s no better time than now to increase your knowledge in this area. The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) is running a series of webinars for Fraud Awareness Week, which runs from 12 – 18 November 2023.
Monday 13 November 12.00-1.00pm
Cyber-enabled fraud - this session will explore what cyber-enabled fraud is and some of the ways you can lock your digital door to fraud.
Wednesday 15 November 12.00-1.00pm
Fraud and Artificial Intelligence - hear from two AI specialists about how fraudsters can use AI to commit their crime as well as how AI can be used to help prevent and detect fraud.
Friday 17 November 12.00-1.00pm
True Crime: SFO case study - hear from two of the SFO team about cases they have worked on and how the lessons they learned can help prevent similar financial crimes occurring again.
