Rogue nations, terrorist cells, and drug cartels are the big fish everyone hopes to catch in the fraud and anti-money laundering seas. Yet financial institutions suffer losses by not paying enough attention to the smaller fish: the "common criminals" in the communities they serve. And sometimes those small fish grow into big ones themselves.

In this session, we will explore some of the tactics used by the everyday criminals and potential measures to help prevent them from exploiting your institutions. We will also cover the most helpful information to assist law enforcement when reporting suspicious activity.
