Paymentfraud

Many professionals think payment fraud could never happen to their organizations. Unfortunately, the numbers tell a different story. Eventually, every single organization will come into the spotlight of one or more crooks. Without the proper precautions, the fraudsters will succeed. Complicating the issue is the fact that whether we like to admit it or not, the risk is both internal and external.

What’s more, the rules continually change as crooks adjust to the fraud protections developed by the business community and find new ways to get their hands on your money. Has your organization taken all the steps it needs to protect itself? Has your strategy been reviewed within the last 12 months.

Please join us for this information-packed 60 minutes with our editorial director, Mary S. Schaeffer. At the session’s conclusion you will be able to:

• Identify the types of payment frauds likely to impact your organization;

• Pinpoint seven common myths that often lull an organization into thinking they don’t have to take action against payment fraud;

• Evaluate the different fraud protection products offered by the banking community;

• Create the proper controls within your organization so you can stop employee fraud;

• Create a p-card program that will make potential employee fraud almost negligible;

• Use proper procedures when utilizing payee name positive pay so it provides the most protection; and

• Implement best practices are for preventing and detecting p-card, check and ACH fraud.

Everyone is at risk, regardless of the size of your organization. No one is too big or too small. While you can probably never stop crooks from trying to steal from you, you can make it so difficult they turn their efforts elsewhere. You can also make it virtually impossible for them to be successful. The information presented in this session will help you achieve both goals.
