Guest lecture with Mike Haley, CEO of Cifas
This session will provide a data-led overview of the types of fraud currently causing the greatest harm to individuals and wider society. Drawing on insights from Cifas, we will explore how these threats are evolving, the real-world impact they have and the strategies being used to tackle them. The session will also examine how advances in AI are likely to affect fraud cases in the future both in terms of new risks and the opportunities technology presents for prevention and detection.
This event is hosted by The Open University Business School's Centre for the Public Understanding of Finance (PUFin). The centre aims to empower the UK public to better manage their finances by providing free tools to help them make sound financial decisions.
