Event Description

As our global digital footprint continues to expand, cybercriminal organizations are rapidly evolving their tactics. Leveraging artificial intelligence, automation, and increasingly sophisticated deception techniques, threat actors are becoming more strategic, more targeted, and more effective.

AFP Vancouver is pleased to present Cyber & Fraud: The New Threat Landscape, an in-person luncheon featuring Rachel Jolicoeur, Director of Customer Protection & Industry Engagement – Global Fraud Management at Scotiabank.

For finance and treasury professionals, the stakes have never been higher. Fraud is no longer just an IT issue - it is a financial, operational, and reputational risk that requires cross-functional awareness and coordinated response.

This session will examine:

  • How AI and emerging technologies are being leveraged by fraudsters
  • The evolving fraud trends impacting financial institutions and corporate organizations
  • Key red flags and emerging scam patterns finance professionals should recognize
  • Best practices for strengthening controls and mitigating risk
  • The shared responsibility across the ecosystem to protect customers, financial assets, and reputations

Attendees will gain practical, actionable insight into today’s fraud environment and the critical role that education, collaboration, and industry partnerships play in building resilience against emerging threats.

This session is designed for professionals across treasury, finance, accounting, risk management, and payments who want to better understand how fraud risk is evolving — and what it means for their organizations in 2026.
