Introduction

Financial fraud remains one of the most complex and damaging risks facing financial institutions and regulated organisations. Traditional, reactive detection methods often identify fraud only after losses have occurred, increasing financial and reputational exposure. As fraud schemes become more sophisticated, organisations must adopt forward-looking approaches that anticipate risk rather than simply respond to it.

This Predictive Modeling for Financial Fraud training course focuses on how predictive analytics can be applied to identify patterns, behaviours, and indicators that signal potential fraud. Participants gain a clear understanding of how predictive models support fraud risk management, enhance monitoring, and strengthen governance while aligning with regulatory expectations for proactive oversight.

Key focus areas include:
