The most dangerous fraudsters are not the ones siphoning money from accounts; they are the ones stealing trust. And once trust is gone, rebuilding it takes years, sometimes decades. That is the battlefield of modern fraud: invisible, intelligent, and deeply personal.
As organizations race toward digital transformation, fraudsters have evolved just as fast and often faster. Artificial intelligence has given birth to a new generation of scams that think, adapt, and deceive in real time. AI-augmented deception, insider-driven compromise, and deepfakes are no longer distant threats; they are active tools reshaping the fraud landscape.
This November, the ACFE Africa Regional Fraud Conference 2025 brings together the continent’s most experienced anti-fraud professionals, investigators, auditors, and governance leaders to tackle these rising threats head-on.
Scheduled for 20–21 November at Speke Resort Munyonyo, this conference is not a spectator event; it is a strategic convergence for those at the forefront of protecting organizational integrity.
The theme is simple yet profound: Fraud is getting smarter. So must we.
Over two days, participants will explore:
• How emerging technologies like AI and deepfakes are redefining fraud detection and prevention.
• Practical ways to build fraud-resilient systems and cultures.
• Real-world lessons from organizations that have faced and survived major fraud incidents.
• How ethical leadership, governance, and risk management form the backbone of modern institutional trust.
Board chairs, auditors, chief risk officers, compliance executives, internal auditors, and regulators will find this conference invaluable. It’s a space for doers, those who investigate, defend, and design systems that keep institutions credible and economies stable. Fraud is no longer about money alone. It’s about eroding confidence, credibility, and national stability. The cost of ignorance is too high.
This November, don’t wait for the next scandal to test your organization’s controls. Be in the room where Africa’s anti-fraud future is being shaped.
Dates: 20–21 November 2025
