Over the last ten years fraud has grown tremendously. The banking sector is facing new challenges daily and with the introduction of new technologies comes new risks.
Unfortunately it seems that the new type of criminal is better equipped, more sophisticated and better funded than the criminals of old, leaving law enforcement agencies, banks and solution providers' always one step behind.
The banking sector in Africa is facing a very complex and technology driven fraud risk. Unfortunately banks is not sharing information on the various fraud types or fraud incidents experienced, thus the full extent of banking fraud in Africa is only a guessing game.
What we do know, is that certain types of fraud such as skimming, cyber crime and document fraud is running rampant in Africa. It is therefore that we have chosen the highest risk and most prevalent types of fraud worldwide and will provide in-depth training on each of these, by well respected and experienced experts in each of their fields.
It is important to note that this event is no conference but a well structure training course that will focus on Document Fraud, ATM, POS and Card Fraud, White Collar Crime and Cyber Crime.On each of these topics we will focus on actual methods used by criminals, identifying red flags, investigation techniques and prevention methods.
Naturally we are vendor independent and thus will provide realistic, accurate and current information on each topic without any product favoritism. By doing so, we will ensure that each participating organisation will walk away with useful knowledge to protect their as well as their client's interests. Remember the ultimate aim with this course is to ensure that the good name of the banking sector is upheld on the entire African continent.
Come and join us and ensure your risk is properly managed.
Please note that this course is only open to the banking sector, law enforcement agencies and service providers' in each of the fraud types covered, thus ensuring an environment where current banking fraud types and solutions can be discovered and debated in total confidence.
