Presentation

Opportunistic fraud typically happens when ordinarily honest people exploit a sudden and unexpected chance to defraud. Such fraud is sometimes referred to as “soft” and often involves exaggerating the truth or omitting parts from the full truth. However, the impacts of opportunistic fraud as a whole can outweigh an organization’s impact from more calculated, targeted, and individually more impactful “hard” fraud. This session will include a few case examples and will focus on the psychology around opportunistic fraud and how understanding this psychology can lead you toward effective investigations and overall fraud risk management.

In this session, participants will:

• Understand the difference between opportunistic and other types of fraud. 
• Understand how opportunistic fraud impacts organizations and consumers.
• Understand psychology around opportunistic fraud.
• Understand how an understanding of the psychology around opportunistic fraud can lead you toward effective fraud risk management.
• Understand how auditors and fraud investigators can collaborate in the fight against opportunistic fraud.
