In order to protect themselves from evolving external threats, financial institutions continue to strengthen their fraud controls by deploying fraud detection solutions across a variety of channels. However, it is imperative that financial institutions do not overlook the threat from within.
Financial institutions are especially vulnerable to employee fraud, as fraudsters within the organization have access to large amounts of personal identification information and financial transactional data, along with access to customer accounts. While these schemes can add up to significant fraud losses for financial institutions and their customers, they can also enable other illicit activity and pose significant compliance concerns.
Join us for this insightful presentation, as we discuss the financial and reputational risks, as well as the potential compliance concerns of employee fraud. Learn the tactics used by internal bad actors and best practices to mitigate losses, including how appropriate monitoring of both employee access logs and transactional activity can alert institutions to fraudulent activity by employees.
In this educational presentation, you will learn:
- The scale of the crime of employee fraud, including the potential for losses and compliance considerations
- Review tactics internal bad actors use to commit fraud against financial institutions
- Best practices to mitigate losses and protect your institution from internal threats, - including appropriate monitoring and fraud controls

Steve Holt, EY UK FS Cybersecurity LeaderRecorded: Nov 27 201930 mins
As disruptive innovations and new business models transform organizations and communities around the world, their sustainability is threatened by an abundance of cyber risks. This panel discussion aims to explore the importance, challenges and opportunities of cyber innovation, providing insights on global regulation and risk.
Our industry insights tell us that cloud technologies, artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics will shape cybersecurity in the year ahead, with important implications for the financial services sector. However, there is increasing evidence that attackers are targeting third-party vendors — such as cloud providers. On the other hand, as financial services firms invest in and implement digital innovation, cyber hackers are themselves taking advantage of advances in technology to orchestrate attacks.
Cyber risks are no longer the sole responsibility of a single team, but rather of everyone. Organizations need to act now by creating synergy between people, processes and technology.
The panel will be moderated by Steve Holt, EY UK FS Cybersecurity Leader
Panelists include:
-Amanda Creak, Regional CISO and EMEA head of technology risk, Goldman Sachs
-Jacqueline Kernot, Cybersecurity Partner, Ernst and Young

Fiduciary Duty in the 21st Century, a collaboration between the PRI and UNEP FI with generous financial support from The Generation Foundation, contributes an extensive evidence base to end the debate on whether fiduciary duty is a legitimate barrier to the integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues in investment practice and decision-making.
Hear from market actors themselves how governments are updating their frameworks, regulators are moving to support the updated conception of fiduciary duty, and investors are also expressing and working towards aligning economic and sustainability objectives.
The project finds that in the 21st century there has been a marked growth in responsible investment regulation and policy around the globe. Investors that fail to incorporate ESG issues are failing their fiduciary duties and are increasingly likely to be subject to legal challenge.
While the conceptual debate around whether ESG issues are a requirement of investor duties and obligations is now over, there are several areas where further work is required.

Boosting the value delivered from your Contract Audit Program
Traditionally, supplier contract audits have principally focused on finding past billings errors and working to recover those overbillings. However, as organizations gain a more sophisticated appreciation for the deep intelligence gained through contract audits, they are now demanding new strategies that are designed to locate errors sooner and prevent the same mistakes from being repeated. Historical recoveries, while still a desired outcome where they exist, are seen as a byproduct of the central objective, fixing problems that return even more significant value through recurring future cost savings.
In this webinar, PRGX contract audit experts Jon Daniells and Sara Clark will recommend strategies for enhancing the value of your organization’s supplier audit program, while outlining the steps to help you recover lost profits sooner. Key takeaways from this webinar include:
- Pathway to prevention: Learn the broad spectrum of where overpayment problems originate and how best to identify and fix the root causes
- Supercharging your results: How evolving the maturity of your contract audit program will exponentially expand value to your company
- From reactive to proactive: Key steps to building a program which identifies issues quicker, leading to immediate and sustained cost savings

In this digital age, vast amounts of compromised customer information from data breaches and fraud scams is readily available for purchase on the dark web. To further their illicit schemes, fraudsters can use your customer’s personal and financial information to create fictional or partially fabricated identities in an emerging trend known as synthetic identity fraud.
With combinations of fake and real identifying information, fraudsters use these synthetic identities to apply for new accounts, products or auto loans. Crime rings often utilize synthetic identities in large, ongoing financial fraud schemes, repeating these crimes at multiple institutions, exponentially increasing the potential for loss.
Join us as we discuss the challenges facing financial institutions when combatting synthetic identity fraud in various forms of financial crime, such as loan fraud, deposit fraud, electronic transfer fraud, and new account fraud.
In this presentation we will discuss:
- The scale of synthetic identity fraud and how it relates to other financial crimes
- Common ploys fraudsters use to commit synthetic identity fraud
- Challenges facing financial institutions to mitigate fraud losses involving - synthetic identity fraud and other evasion methods
- Real-life examples of fraud schemes and crime rings employing synthetic identity fraud and related illicit activities

While growing at an exponential rate, the green finance market is still in its infancy and is awash in mislabelled “sustainable” investment products. What is considered “green” varies from investor to investor and from bank to bank and across regions, both in terms of business clientele and financial offerings from the sector. As regulators across Europe, the UK and in North America increase pressure on investment managers to increase the transparency of financial product labelling.
As countries get serious about net-zero emissions targets in line with the recommendations of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, pressure is growing for policymakers to mandate unified definitions of “green” finance and introduce compulsory disclosures.
In a recent Morgan Stanley survey of institutional investors, 70% said they are integrating sustainable investing into their investment process, signalling just how quickly the environmental, social and governance (ESG) imperative is catching on. Despite this, the ESG narrative is dominated by asset managers and NGOs. Asset owners - pension funds, endowments, foundations and other large institutional investors - are generally kept in the dark as to what “sustainable” and “green” actually mean in the context of their investment funds.
This webinar will ask tough questions about what a new wave of transparency in fund labelling and fee disclosure could mean for global investors who are committed to going green.

Disruptive innovation is a phrase on the tip of every tongue. A concept that’s redefined industries and toppled organisations. Its effects are far-reaching. Disruptive innovation has already transformed fundamental services like transportation and reinvented how we consume entertainment. Now it’s starting to influence financial services. It seems that everyone is searching for that disruption, but few can define what it is and how to find it.
In this webinar, Husayn Kassai, co-founder of Onfido, examines exactly what disruptive innovation is, and how it’s being applied to trade and finance.

The way we verify our identities is changing. With traditional enterprises evolving and taking their operations fully digital, and newer all-digital businesses are growing exponentially, it makes sense that identity verification and KYC move online too. But in a remote setting, it’s hard for businesses to scale up their user onboarding without also increasing risk. Now, many are turning to AI-based solutions to meet that need.
From hybrid to augmented, machine learning to deep learning, there are lots of new approaches to identity verification out there. But how can businesses tell the difference between buzzword and true black box, and what are the benefits of each?
In this discussion, we’ll decode the various different applications of AI to the identity verification problem. We’ll also discuss how to use these new technologies to increase efficiencies at scale and provide exceptional customer experiences.
Join this expert panel webinar to hear a dynamic panel discussion on:
-The challenges of traditional methods of identity verification, and why enterprises are turning to AI
-The different ways AI can be applied for more efficient identity verification
-The benefits of a hybrid human-AI approach
-A new identity reality: How will we be able to use our identities in future

How will investors respond to green fiscal policy and a new wave of action on climate targets from the world’s central bankers? Join us to find out what’s in store for 2020 as central banks and prudential regulators ramp up action on climate risk and sustainable finance.
To kick-off 2020, RI is bringing together global central banking leaders to consider how ESG and climate risk integration into central banking and monetary policy could influence the investment decision-making of global investors.
As fiscal policy makers and macroprudential regulators within the Network for Greening the Financial System get down to business, investors are waking up to the potential for climate-aligned monetary policy that could nudge economies towards alignment with the 2 degree targets committed to in the Paris Agreement. With major economies like China, India, and Mexico getting serious about financial system alignment with climate targets, who is leading?
From the integration of climate risk management into the work of supervisory authorities to the incorporation of sustainability criteria into central banks’ portfolio management functions for the world’s largest treasuries, many central banks and prudential regulators are moving faster than the investment community. This webinar is a chance for the global investment community to better understand what’s in store and to discuss investor responses to the greening of central bank balance sheets.
