Fraud Perspectives: Virtual Remote Work Forever 

I attended this webinar from my office, formulated the coverage plan on my commute and wrote this article from my home office. This is the current remote or hybrid reality for many in the professional realm in this post-COVID-19 world.

There are some tools an anti-fraud professional simply can’t do without: education, experience, training and networking, just to name a few. But, there is one that consistently creeps to the top of the list time and time again: an inquisitive and curious mind. Or, as some of the members of our LinkedIn discussion group put it, “Don’t trust, verify.”

Of the many fraud fighters I meet, they all share this unique characteristic and are able to hone this talent as the years go by. It is this curiosity and willingness to find the truth that sparks the initial ideas for some of the resources we make available during Fraud Week, both for rookies and veterans alike.

Check out just a few of the resources we have put together this year:
