Fraud isn’t slowing down, and a single bank cannot track every new scheme alone. The best defense is staying connected, sharing information, and learning from others who are seeing these issues in real time.
That’s why we’ve launched a new member resource: the Financial Fraud Advisory Forum. Offered in partnership with the Missouri Independent Community Bankers and several other state associations, this recurring conference call brings community bankers and industry experts together to talk through current and emerging fraud trends.
Fraud often shows up in one region before spreading to others. Hearing what bankers in other states are experiencing can provide an early heads-up and help South Dakota community banks prepare before a threat hits close to home.
Participation is simple. Just dial in from wherever you are, join the conversation, and walk away with new information you can put to use right away.
The forum will focus on:
- Emerging fraud schemes and risk areas
- Response and mitigation strategies
- Investigation and recovery practices
- Fraud-related policy discussions
- Open information sharing among community banks
The forum is designed for CEOs, compliance officers, fraud teams, operations staff, and anyone responsible for risk management. It creates an easy, structured way to collaborate and stay informed. The next forum will be held Thursday, April 16 at 10:00AM CT. Watch your inbox for more details on how to participate in this new ICBSD member resource.
Continue to watch for more resources as ICBSD continues to build our Fraud Prevention Committee and bring our members valuable tool.
“The forum is designed for CEOs, compliance officers, fraud teams, operations staff, and the people in your organization tasked with fraud prevention.”
