Experian publishes five global business trends that will help senior executives protect their growth ambitions against rising fraud threatsCOSTA MESA, Calif., July 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Experian has published its first annual global fraud report covering the convergence of growth strategies and fraud prevention. The report, Global Business Trends: Protecting Growth Ambitions Against Rising Fraud Threats, is designed as a guide for senior executives and fraud prevention professionals, offering new insights on how the alignment of strategies for business growth and fraud prevention can help a business grow revenues while managing risks in an increasingly virtual world. The report identifies five trends that businesses should assess and take action on to mitigate fraud and improve the customer experience in today's fast-paced, consumer-centric environment:
"There is a persistent mindset that fraud loss is just the cost of doing business," said Steve Platt, global EVP, Fraud and Identity, Experian. "But as fraudsters evolve, those losses are climbing, and the status quo is no longer effective or acceptable. We all need to be as forward-looking in fighting fraud as we are in business operations and marketing, and a real understanding of consumers is critical for success. We're talking about the convergence of business growth and fraud prevention, and we're pleased to provide the first report in the marketplace covering this topic." Download the full report here. The report also features an interactive Fraud Prevention Benchmark tool that companies can use to explore how these trends impact their business and how the performance of their approach measures up against industry practices. The report is relevant to functions spanning the enterprise, including C-suite executives such as chief marketing officers (CMOs), chief risk officers (CROs) and chief data officers (CDOs). The report focuses on business processes where fraud infiltrates, including new account opening, account access, money movement transactions, and emerging trends combating fraud, such as advanced fraud analytics. In each area, the report details how multiple business functions can apply responses to create business growth. Steve Platt added: "We hear from our clients that they are most successful when CMOs along with CDOs and CROs all work together to understand the customer and develop fraud management solutions that create a better overall experience."
