Welcome to the first edition of Velocity’s Newsletter where we curate the finest blog highlights, interesting questions, and the latest buzz from the financial crime universe.

That’s why this special edition is dedicated entirely to Fraud Risk Governance. We’ve got everything you need, from the latest industry news and hard-hitting facts to must-know prevention tips for banks.

Industry News & Trends 

In today’s rapidly evolving landscape, staying informed about the latest trends is crucial. Here’s what’s making headlines in the world of Fraud Risk Governance:

• Fraud rates remained at historically high levels, with global fraud losses reaching $485.6 billion in 2023, according to Nasdaq’s 2024 financial crime report.  
• The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners’ (ACFE’s) 2022 Global Fraud Survey reported that the average business loses about 5% of its revenue to occupational fraud every year.  
• There was near unanimous consensus among industry experts regarding the anticipated uptick in fraud, with 87% predicting an increase. 

(The drivers behind the rise in fraud include the role of innovative technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), the emergence of Fraud-as-a-Service (FaaS), the demand for fast, frictionless transactions, and growing economic pressures.)
