Global Issues in Fraud, Risk and Security

March 6, 2012 - PRLog -- Global fraud is approaching $1trillion. Much is not even reported, but medicare fraud alone is estimated to be $62 billion. The recent indictments in NewYork of an accident insurance fraud ring which made over $279 million is just the tip of the iceberg. These rings are global (in this case, a Russian group operating in New York), and staffed with very sophisticated people, including some with PhDs. So, whether it is in banking, insurance, eCommerce or one of many other industries, it is an enormous and growing issue, which is very difficult to control. The size of the issue slows economies and has a far larger impact on business than many are prepared to acknowledge.

The panel will also provide state-of-the-art solutions in detecting fraud.
