What's inside
- 01~4 minWhy finance is the prime targetIf attackers can compromise one finance team member's email, or socially engineer one wire transfer, they can move six figures in minutes. The FBI ranks Business Email Compromise (BEC) as the most expensive cybercrime category — billions annually, almost all through finance teams.
- 02~4 minVerification — the only control that consistently worksEmail and phone calls can be faked. Even video calls can be faked now. The only consistently-working defense is verification through a separate, pre-known channel.
- 03~4 minInvoice fraud and AP-specific patternsAP-specific scams target the routine. Invoices that look ordinary, vendors that look familiar, amounts that don't trigger thresholds — but the money goes to attackers.
- 04~3 minWhat to do when you think a wire is fraudulentSpeed matters. The first 24 hours determine whether you can recover the funds. A clear playbook for finance team members.
- 05~3 minCourse recap + the finance-specific checklistEverything you need to remember from this course, in one printable checklist.
