Heightened fraud activity is now a defining feature of today’s operating environment, driven by increasingly sophisticated criminal networks, rapid digitisation and the rise of AI-enabled tools. This system-wide challenge was a key area of focus at the 2026 AFIA Risk Summit, with insights shared by Tony Meredith and Drew Beresford from Equifax on the importance of strengthening prevention, detection and collaboration across the industry. Through our partnership with Equifax, AFIA continues to support members in building stronger fraud capability and taking a layered, intelligence-led approach to managing risk. #AFIA #Equifax #RiskSummit #FraudLandscape
