Information

  • Data governance and confidence: the real tension between innovation and caution, where governance can unintentionally slow progress, and how bringing colleagues in early can enable bolder, preventative approaches.
  • From data sharing to prevention: starting with simple, defensible data sharing and matching, and how tools and technology (such as advanced analytics and AI) can be applied proportionately to address specific fraud risks and shift from recovery to prevention.
