Fraud Protection Real cases 2 Credits 2 Credits
With the
widespread distribution of COVID vaccines now promising hope for a “return to
normal,” business leaders need to understand that some of the changes in the
business landscape are not temporary — and these changes will have a big impact
on their organizations’ fraud risk.
In a new report
from the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) and Grant Thornton,
51% of anti-fraud professionals surveyed said that they have uncovered higher
levels of fraud since the pandemic began, with 20% saying the increase was
significant.
While it would
be optimistic to believe fraud levels will decrease to pre-pandemic levels as
businesses and offices reopen, 71% expect the level of fraud affecting their
employers to continue to increase over the next year. One reason we can likely
expect more fraud to proliferate is the massive changes in underlying fraud
risk factors that have arisen since the onset of the pandemic.
Our first speaker Linda Yao will dive deeper into this Information Technology CPE course the recent statistics of fraud from ACFE and its impact on corporations and society as a whole.
Today’s COVID-19 pandemic is the latest crisis creating fertile
ground for fraud and scammers today have a new and powerful weapon: social
media platforms. These platforms generally earn their revenue by targeting
users with advertising.
The more time we spend on platforms consuming content
and revealing valuable personal information, the more that platforms profit by
having information to target ads. So, the algorithms tend to favor content that
drives engagement, which, in turn, leads to still more information gathered to
target ads and to further refine their algorithms. Identifying the difference
between theft and fraud can be tricky.
Our second speaker Dave Oswald will
discuss in more detail the 4 types of fraud and how organizations can be aware
and on the lookout.
With Social Media, Crypto Currency, and COVID, fraudsters are running rampant. You need to be vigilant and learn how to protect yourself. This CPD course helps you to deepen your understanding of how you can be more vigilant.

Linda Yao was born in Taiwan, Taipei into a family of five who lived in a one-bedroom University of Taiwan duplex with no amenities. She recalls sleeping with her grandmother and sister in a curtained-off area in the living room, while her parents and brother slept in the bedroom. The toilet was just a hole in the floor, and it was next to the kitchen. They bathed in a lean-to her dad built against the nearby banana fermentation warehouse.
While her story started similar to many in her age group from Taiwan, Linda attributes much of her financial success to the decision to buy a few helpful wealth-building products that forced her to save monthly amounts of cash she wasn’t able to withdraw easily.
It wasn’t always like that: Linda didn’t become interested in managing her money until she was in her 40s. Yet, she was able to reach financial independence, enjoy a very comfortable retirement, and very passionate about helping parents and grandparents to gain the confidence to manage their money, save, and pay less tax.
She is focused on helping them in building wealth for future generations to leave a sizable
legacy effortlessly by following a few simple steps.

PM
This was good. It was all facts and definitions. And to some extent an overview. I would have also enjoyed a detailed analysis of how to avoid some of the frauds, other than learning that they occur and what percentage of total fraud is caused by what. That is interest and great talking points, but doesn't help my client.
MK
Overall I felt the webinar was very interesting, supplementing theory with actual real examples. The use of polling was effective at keeping me engaged.
