FRAUD IN INEVITABLE; SO LET'S DEAL WITH IT!
By John Alfano, Partner, Deloitte

We are pleased to announce the next FSAA Luncheon for our Victoria Members.

As a financial institution, it is inevitable that your organisation will be subjected to fraud at some stage, if not on a continuing basis.

The session will look at:

Who commits fraud and why
Principals of fraud risk management
Fraud detection and response
How you can make a difference

John Alfano is a Partner with extensive experience relating to AML/CTF and sanctions advisory and regulatory investigations within the financial services industry.
