Course overview

Treasury departments face unprecedented fraud threats.

Business Email Compromise (BEC) cost Orion Chemical $60 million (2024), deepfake calls defrauded a Singapore finance director of $499,000 (2025), and vendor email compromise has cost organisations over $100 million combined. Generative AI is boosting the scam industry and treasury professionals are first in line when it comes to protecting their company’s cash, and therefore the main targets of corporate fraud.

This comprehensive 2-day training equips treasury and finance professionals with practical tools, real-world insights, and actionable strategies to protect their organisations from fraud and cybercrime. Participants will gain a deep understanding of the threat landscape, learn how attackers operate, and discover proven methods to prevent, detect, and respond to incidents.
