ABOUT THE EVENT

Equipped with powerful tech and with vast resources at their disposal, the modern-day financial criminal has a set of skills that would make any magician blush. Professional money launderers can build networks that dazzle and deceive better than David Copperfield, while fraudsters can make their victim’s hard-earned money disappear faster than Harry Houdini.  

Yet fincrime compliance professionals have a little magic on their side as well, the kind that comes from dedication, motivation and the mindset to spot tricks and deception.  

Of course, the real magic comes when financial crime professionals gather to connect, learn, share knowledge and build their networks. That’s why ACFCS is returning with FinCrime Virtual Week 2024, the premier virtual event in the financial crime space, to help you counter the dark arts of fraudsters, money launderers and cyber thieves.

Leveraging crews of professional thieves, getaway drivers, storage facilities, repackaging teams and distribution logistics, these crime rings can swiftly reintroduce hot merchandise into the retail stream masquerading as legitimate product.

Criminals Going Green - International Perspectives on Environmental Crime

“Going green” is a catch-all term for efforts to live and work in a more environmentally friendly way. Unfortunately, criminal organizations have also been going green in a much more negative sense of the term - by pursuing ways to profit off environmental destruction and degradation.

Environmental crime is an emerging risk area that encompasses illegal logging, mining, fishing, pollution and wildlife trafficking, and has strong ties to other illicit typologies like corruption and money laundering. It’s also a big business, generating hundreds of billions of dollars worth of proceeds each year for the sophisticated criminal organizations involved.

What’s New with Elder Fraud and Financial Abuse – Updated Trends and Typologies

What’s New with Elder Fraud and Financial Abuse – Updated Trends and Typologies
 
When it comes to the creativity and callousness of global fraud syndicates, they seem to know no bounds – particularly when it comes to the country’s most physically fragile and fiscally vulnerable community: seniors.
 
In all, scammers pilfered more than $3.4 billion from older Americans last year, according to an FBI report released in April 2024, revealing a rise in losses through increasingly sophisticated criminal tactics to dupe older individuals into giving up their life savings.
 
Losses from scams reported by Americans over the age of 60 last year were up roughly 11 percent over the year before, according to the FBI's report. The report also noted a surge in more corporeal schemes to drain bank accounts involving sending couriers – some part of the illicit group, others victims themselves – in person to collect cash or gold from victims.
 
This continued rise puts more of an onus on bank fraud and AML teams to both inform their senior customers before a scam happens and be more attuned and agile when they suspect a customer is in the process of being scammed. What can your bank teams do to protect customers, outwit scammers and report actions quickly and completely to law enforcement? Find out in this relevant and riveting panel.

FinCrime Career Outlook - What’s Hot, Whats Not and What Skills to Cultivate in the New AI AML world

Roles leveraging human expertise, like enhanced due diligence investigations, anti-money laundering policy development, and cybersecurity threat hunting could be more in-demand.
