Mitigating Fraud Risk in the Age of AI

More than three-quarters of U.S. organizations experienced attempted or actual payment fraud last year, yet only 22% currently use AI in their fraud controls. As AI and automation reshape finance, they offer new ways to identify anomalies and surface potential risks, but technology alone cannot close every gap. Where can AI genuinely strengthen fraud prevention, and where are strong processes, effective controls, and human judgment still essential? This session cuts through the hype to examine how finance teams can manage risk in an AI-enabled world.

What we’ll cover

1. Where fraud risk hides across manual and automated finance processes
2. What AI is genuinely good at detecting and where human oversight still needs to lead
3. How gaps in verification, approvals, and payment controls create exposure
4. How to strengthen governance without creating operational bottlenecks

Attendees will leave with

1. A clearer understanding of where risk may be quietly building in their processes
2. A hype-free view of where AI adds real value in detecting fraud and where it doesn’t
3. Practical ways to strengthen controls and oversight without slowing finance down
