Fraud doesn’t spread through dramatic movie-style heists; it spreads through human moments, organisational blind spots, and the tiny cracks where policy meets reality. The Financial Crime Lab was created to explore those cracks with clarity rather than cliché. Each article here digs into the messy, behavioural, structural, and technological forces shaping modern fraud, and how we can design systems, organisations, and cultures that are harder for criminals to exploit and easier for people to navigate. This is a space for evidence, insight, and practical thinking, all grounded in the idea that the future of fraud prevention depends on understanding people as much as patterns.
