The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has released an alert for financial institutions setting out the scale of Business Email Compromise (BEC) fraud which they calculate has led to $55bn of losses between 2013 and 2023. The scam is carried out when a legitimate business or personal email account is compromised through social engineering or computer intrusion to conduct unauthorized transfers of funds. Between December 2022 and December 2023, there was a 9% increase in identified global losses. 2023 saw a growth in BEC reporting where funds were sent directly to financial institutions housing custodial accounts held by third-party payment processors, peer-to-peer payment processors and crypto exchanges. Victims of BEC fraud should contact their bank and law enforcement immediately as funds may be recoverable. The FBI alert also shared prevention tips which businesses can put in place. https://bit.ly/3XrsENm

In this episode of ACAMS Live, Craig Timm delves into this topic, which is laid out in ACAMS' whitepaper: "Incentivizing Effectiveness: Strategies to Achieve Better Financial Crime Results," based on insights gathered from discussions globally. The paper outlines 5 strategies for jurisdictions to consider: 1️⃣ Define the desired outcomes of the AFC regime and use them to evaluate stakeholders 2️⃣ Ensure the defined outcomes include results, not just technical compliance 3️⃣ Establish a strategic public-private partnership focused on effectiveness 4️⃣ Evolve AFC programs from a coverage approach to an intelligence-led approach 5️⃣ Creative supervisory incentives to drive a risk-based approach that leads to more effective outcomes Read the full paper here👉 https://bit.ly/4dY0cK5 Have you read the paper?
