Anish Kapoor, CEO at AccessPay, said: “Standards and expectations in relation to how corporates manage operational resilience and fraud risk are increasing.
“We have already experienced this in the financial services sector, where regulated firms are subject to new operational resilience rules, and now there is UK SOx for large corporates. Yet, regardless of size, the risk of fraud and error is a very real concern for all businesses and can have a significant financial impact”, Kapoor added. “The new additions to AccessPay’s product roadmap will help businesses of all sizes to take a multifaceted approach to managing fraud and preventing errors, as well as helping them to be audit-ready and able to demonstrate the impact of controls to regulators.”
Fraud around the world
Recent reports published by the European Central Bank and FICO show APP and card fraud are on the decline in Europe and worldwide due to financial institutions increasingly leveraging advanced analytics in the fight against financial crime.
Despite this, however, fraudsters are looking for ways to expand their scamming techniques. According to GlobalData, one such example involves social-engineering fraud, with 39% of financial crime reported in 2022 being social-engineering-based.
