AUSTIN, Texas (August 30, 2024) — Nearly 200 anti-fraud professionals from fields such as technology, law enforcement, banking and more are expected to attend the virtual 2024 ACFE Fraud Conference Asia-Pacific. The yearly event, organized by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE), will take place 11–13 September 2024. This year's agenda features leading industry experts discussing topics such as fraudster personas, evidence gathering, how to use technology to fight cyber scams and more.

Keynote speakers for this year's event include:

• Gene Yu, founder and CEO of Blackpanda Group, a cyberattack emergency response team. Yu is also a U.S. Army veteran and author. His latest book, "The Second Shot: A Green Beret's Last Mission," will be published in October 2024.
• Fintech expert Benjamin Quinlan, CEO and managing partner at Quinlan & Associates, a Hong Kong-based financial services and fintech consulting firm.

Attendees will also have opportunities to connect and network virtually with other colleagues and professionals through the conference hub.

According to the ACFE's Occupational Fraud 2024: A Report to the Nations, corruption, billing and noncash schemes were the most common occupational fraud schemes in the cases studied from the Asia-Pacific region. In addition, organizations that did not provide fraud training lost nearly two times more than organizations that did, proving the value of events such as these for anti-fraud professionals and their colleagues.
