Filip sheds light on the challenges companies face with increasing fraud due to advances in generative AI and deepfakes, and the importance of balancing security with customer experience.

Trust Stamp President Andrew Gowasack joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share that the company has been selected to join Founders Arena, a premier accelerator program that supports emerging innovators in the rapidly growing WealthTech sector. Gowasack noted this milestone comes as Trust Stamp surpasses its 100th financial institution client, a reflection of increasing demand for advanced identity protection and secure authentication across the wealth management industry. He emphasized that wealth advisors face many of the same evolving fraud risks as banks and insurance providers — particularly because they oversee high-value, high-profile accounts that are attractive to cybercriminals. Recent incidents highlight how sophisticated attacks have become. In February 2024, a global financial firm suffered a $25 million loss after staff were deceived by a deepfake impersonating the company's CFO on a video call. According to JP Morgan Wealth Management, fraud losses exceeded $16.6 billion in 2024, up 33% year-over-year, driven largely by AI-enabled scams and targeted social engineering. As Gowasack explained, Trust Stamp's technology is built specifically to combat these new forms of digital identity manipulation, delivering enterprise-grade security without compromising user privacy. Founders Arena also highlighted a point of pride: this cohort welcomes its first founder from Arlington, Texas, the accelerator's hometown. Gowasack said joining Founders Arena will provide meaningful support for Trust Stamp's continued growth in the WealthTech industry, accelerating the deployment of innovative fraud-prevention solutions at a time when financial institutions are urgently seeking stronger defenses. #proactiveinvestors #truststamp #nasdaq #idai #IdentityTech #DigitalIdentity #Fintech #GhanaID #SouthKoreaStartup #AsiaExpansion #KStartupChallenge #FinancialServices #Biometrics #TechExpansion #ProactiveInvestors #AndrewGowasack

Sean Smith is back for another discussion, and today, he talks about building a trusted network and keeping your freight secure in a market full of fraud, fake carriers, and last-minute chaos! Sean breaks down why a strong, relationship-driven carrier strategy is the best defense against fraud and service failures, moving 85% of his freight through a core group of trusted carriers, how tools like RMIS and private load boards automate vetting, boost efficiency, and keep trusted carriers in the circle, while we're recognizing the fact that technology alone can't beat fraud, and how carrier segmentation, automation, and transparency tools help brokers scale without losing control or quality!

Minnesota Republicans feel good about their chances in 2026. They've got lots of opportunities to break through on the statewide map — with several key offices on the line. None is more tantalizing than the governor's office. DFL Gov. Tim Walz is after a third term, and Republicans are out to convince voters he's worn out his welcome. One of the candidates working to make that case is GOP state Rep. Kristin Robbins, who has made fraud a campaign focus from her position as chair of the House Committee on Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight. Rep. Robbins talks with MPR News politics editor Brian Bakst about why she's running and how she'll navigate a field of GOP hopefuls. Later, we'll get an update on the impending closure of the Stillwater prison from Corrections Commissioner Paul Schnell. His department is under orders to shutter the facility by 2029.

In this Nonprofit Power Week conversation, we sit down with Jen Blasy, Manager at Your Part-Time Controller, to confront a topic many organizations would rather avoid: fraud in the nonprofit sector. Jen is unequivocal about the stakes: “Fraud has been a constant. It may look different, but it's still happening.” She explains why the sector's empathy, trust, and lean staffing models can unintentionally create exposure—especially in a remote and hybrid world where e-mail, text, and chat now mediate so many approvals and financial transactions.Jen moves past labels to show how fraud actually occurs. She refreshes the classic “triangle” of pressure, rationalization, and opportunity by adding capability and personal ethics, then wraps it all in culture. Tone at the top matters, she notes, because expectations, zero tolerance, and open conversation are often the only real deterrents. “We need to normalize the discussion of it so that it becomes more normal to talk about,” Jen adds, urging leaders to speak plainly with staff, boards, auditors, and yes—donors—about risks and responsibilities.Concrete scenarios make the message land. From stolen cards being “tested” on donation pages to refund requests designed to route money out through alternate channels, Jen shows how seemingly donor-friendly instincts can be weaponized. She pushes organizations to map their most common money-in and money-out pathways, document updated controls that fit remote workflows, and rehearse a response plan before a crisis. Who do you call first? Legal counsel, your insurer, your auditor, a board champion? Decide now, not mid-incident.The throughline is sector solidarity. Because incidents are underreported and under-prosecuted, offenders can quietly move from one organization to another. Jen challenges leaders to think beyond their own walls and treat transparency as community protection. Make fraud risk a standing board agenda item, ensure auditors' annual fraud conversations are substantive, and appoint an internal champion to coordinate policies, training, and continuous improvement.Fraud will not be eliminated, but its impact can be contained by stronger culture, modernized controls, and candid conversation. This episode equips executives, finance teams, and fundraisers alike to recognize where they're vulnerable and to act. As Jen frames it, progress starts when we stop whispering about fraud and start planning together. #TheNonprofitShow #NonprofitFinance #FraudPreventionFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

The Unified Program Integrity Contractors (UPICs) are household names in healthcare compliance.But their track record tells a troubling story, according to senior healthcare analyst Frank Cohen.

Cohen intends to show how misaligned incentives are creating systematic accuracy problems, while revealing why the current UPIC system might be fundamentally broken, despite everyone agreeing that fraud prevention matters.The weekly broadcast will also include these instantly recognizable features:• Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, MD, vice president of R1 RCM, will be making his Monday Rounds.• The RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, partner at the law firm of Nelson Mullins, will report the latest news about auditors.• Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Byron, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment.• Legislative Update: Matthew Albright, chief legislative affairs analyst for Zelis, will report on the news happening at the intersection of healthcare and congressional action.

In this episode, Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce CEO Bret Schanzenbach sits down with Lisa Carroll, president of Number Crunching, Inc., to explore her unique career path and specialized expertise in uncovering financial deception.Lisa shares her journey from humble beginnings in accounts payable and receivable to becoming a sought-after Certified Fraud Examiner. Initially recognized for her knack for unraveling messy financial records, she found her calling when an attorney asked her to testify in court on a fraud case. Encouraged by a judge who supported her despite lacking formal certification at the time, Lisa pursued and obtained her fraud examiner credentials, adding to decades of bookkeeping and accounting experience.She explains how her upbringing in a family of attorneys sharpened her ability to handle courtroom pressure with confidence. Today, she specializes in forensic bookkeeping—uncovering financial fraud in both divorce proceedings and business disputes. From identifying fraudulent personal expenses buried in company books to exposing multimillion-dollar embezzlements, Lisa thrives on what she describes as solving “financial puzzles.”Lisa emphasizes that her analyses are always “court-ready.” She tailors her reports so judges—who aren't accountants—can understand them clearly while ensuring every conclusion is backed by documentation. In some cases, she even serves as a neutral third-party appointed by the court to provide unbiased findings. Her role bridges investigative accounting with courtroom clarity, offering attorneys and clients confidence in the integrity of her work.Beyond business and family disputes, Lisa is passionate about protecting seniors from fraud. She highlights a staggering rise in financial scams targeting older adults, with estimated losses reaching nearly $20 billion annually. Drawing on her expertise, she partners with the FBI's Elder Justice Task Force and local law enforcement to present workshops at senior centers and community events, educating attendees about tactics such as AI-driven voice cloning scams. Her advice is straightforward: hang up, verify directly with loved ones, and always file reports with police and the FBI's IC3 system, even if the money seems unrecoverable.Throughout the interview, Lisa's enthusiasm for her work shines through. She describes each fraud case as a puzzle waiting to be solved and views her role as not only protecting financial integrity but also empowering individuals and businesses to take action when something feels wrong. For those seeking help—whether business owners, attorneys, or families—she encourages reaching out through her website, numbercrunchinginc.com, or by phone.
