All financial institutions should take steps to deter fraud to protect their organization.

This event aims to discuss the warning signs and the methods in executing fraud, alongside the strategies that can be taken to identify and counter this unlawful act. This is a must-attend for financial institutions who intend to eliminate fraud for good.

The Knowledge Congress is assembling a panel of distinguished professionals and key regulators to inform financial institutions of the benefits of these guidelines. The speakers will present their expert opinions in a two-hour Live webinar.
