This session will equip you with the knowledge and tools needed to identify risks, strengthen internal processes, and implement practical safeguards.
We'll walk through the lifecycle of an electronic payment from vendor setup to funds release and pinpoint where fraud threats emerge. You'll learn how to train staff, enforce controls, and use technology to your advantage.
Whether you're in accounts payable, treasury, finance, or audit, this training will help you build a strong defense against payment fraud. Don't wait for a breach to expose the gaps in your system. Take action now and protect your organization from financial and reputational harm.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Electronic payments may be faster and more efficient but are they secure?
Fraudsters are increasingly targeting businesses using sophisticated social engineering tactics to manipulate staff into transferring funds to unauthorized accounts. Business email compromise (BEC), fake vendor schemes, and payment redirection attacks are on the rise. Even one wrong click or oversight can lead to a six-figure loss.
Do you know if your current payment process can detect or block a fraudulent transaction before it's too late? Are you confident that staff across departments understand the warning signs? Many organizations don't realize their vulnerabilities until after they've been exploited and by then, it's too late.
