The nature of fraud has changed significantly throughout the past few years. The present environment has led to unexpected and rapid threats, with new technologies, changing regulations and global uncertainty. 

No organization can prepare for every threat alone. That is why collaboration is a key part of modern fraud prevention. 

A Smarter Way to Tackle Shared Risks 

Fraud does not affect every organization the same way. For example, while corruption is prevalent in almost all industries, those in the banking and financial services industry experience more cash on hand loss compared to the technology industry, which grapples with noncash fraud at a higher rate, according to Occupational Fraud 2024: A Report to the Nations

Some organizations encounter phishing and identity fraud. Others focus on detecting internal misconduct or cleaning up vendor data. But most ask similar questions: What are we missing? How do we stay ahead of what is coming next? 

The ACFE Corporate Alliance program helps to answer these questions by creating a space for member organizations to share knowledge and benchmarking tools alongside a global network of anti-fraud professionals. The partnership program enables organizations to learn from peers, which enhances internal capabilities while developing fraud prevention strategies that remain effective through changing risk environments. 

Staying Prepared in a Changing World 

The evolution of generative artificial intelligence (AI), together with synthetic identities and sophisticated social engineering methods, means fraud schemes are becoming increasingly difficult to recognize. The decentralization of business operations and increased digitization of work creates new vulnerabilities that fraudsters are constantly evolving their methods to exploit. 

The ACFE Corporate Alliance provides its member organizations with timely knowledge and resources that enable them to adapt to these changes. Members benefit from access to peer collaboration and high-quality training materials, enabling them to develop proactive future-oriented strategies. 

Strengthening People, Processes and the Profession 

The ACFE Corporate Alliance represents both a strategic advantage and organizational backing for those who carry out the work. Members gain access to top-tier training alongside programs that help teams develop their abilities to fight fraud. But there is a larger benefit, too: Every organization that participates pushes the anti-fraud profession forward. By sharing knowledge, contributing to new ideas and supporting awareness efforts, members help raise the bar industry-wide.
