"Identity fraud is one of America's fastest growing crimes, hitting millions of victims in the past five years, and costing them billions of dollars in damages," said Harkins. "This is a tremendous opportunity to educate IAFCI Conference attendees on the roots of the identity fraud crisis, and bring greater visibility to some of the detection and prevention technologies available to help them contain the crime. In this fight against identity fraud, it is imperative that all organizations understand this critical issue, find ways to help reduce the potentially devastating effects that this crime can have on their institution and their customers."
The IAFCI is a nonprofit international organization for financial professionals involved in fraud prevention, detection, and apprehension. The IAFCI Conference will be held Aug. 28 through Sept. 1 in Seattle.
