About this event

Government services are constantly fighting against fraud, working day and night, all year round.

The Commonwealth Fraud Prevention Centre states that governments typically lose between 0.5% and 5% of their funds to fraud, as estimated globally. Fraud is becoming increasingly sophisticated, organized, and widespread, posing challenges for investigation.

You are invited to join our panel discussion to learn how using advanced technology like analytics, AI, and data matching, along with public data, can help in investigations.

Participants can learn about:
  • Understanding Fraud's Impact: Learn about the widespread impact of fraud on government services, including the significant financial losses experienced by governments worldwide.
  • Investigating Fraud Challenges: Discover the difficulties government agencies face when investigating fraud, especially considering its complex and widespread nature and the limitations of traditional investigation techniques.
  • Technology's Role in Fighting Fraud: Find out how advanced technologies like analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and data matching are transforming fraud investigations, making them more efficient and effective.
  • Keeping Up with Fraudulent Trends: Explore how fraud is evolving, becoming more complex and organized.
  • Unlocking the Power of Public Data: Explore the potential of using publicly available data in fraud investigations to improve accuracy and broaden the scope of investigative efforts, ultimately aiding decision-making and resource allocation for government agencies.
