About
The GCFFC APAC Chapter has established an Anti-Fraud Working Group to better understand the threats, red flags and reasonable responses related to anti-fraud activity. The project entails public and private participation initially across three countries (Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia), focussing on best practices and recommendations that can be used and shared elsewhere. The mission is to develop and share actionable strategies for reducing the harms of fraud and scams through prevention, detection and education.
The leads for each country are as follows:
Rachelle Boyle, Australia
Cyril Mak, Hong Kong
Rayson Tan, Singapore
The group continues to progress and is currently on track to report its findings in mid 2024.
