CPE Eligible 10 Points
HRDC Claimable TBC
Overview

Combating Digital Threats and Fraud to Safeguard Organisational and Market Integrity

Fraud is evolving at machine speed, driven by artificial intelligence, instant payments and borderless digital platforms. Criminals now industrialise deception with synthetic identities, deepfakes and automated scam operations, exploiting gaps in governance and controls. The 2nd SIDC–MACFE Fraud Conference 2026 convenes regulators (SC, BNM, Bursa, law enforcement), financial institutions and public-listed companies to address this next wave of digital and online fraud. Through visionary keynotes, expert panels and case-led discussions, the programme explores the need to fight AI with AI, strengthen KYC/AML and data-privacy practices, as well as coordinate rapid enforcement and remediation. Participants will gain key take ways from practical tools shared in order to enhance organisational resilience, uphold ethical conduct and protect investors’ confidence as well as market integrity across the Malaysia’s financial ecosystem.
The 2nd SIDC–MACFE Fraud Conference 2026 aims to strengthen the collective response against the accelerating wave of AI-driven and technology-enabled fraud. It provides a collaborative platform for capital-market professionals, financial institutions, listed companies, regulators, law-enforcement agencies and technology experts to share insights, analyse real cases and discuss strategies that integrate innovation with governance. The conference emphasises how emerging risks such as synthetic identities, deepfakes, instant-payment scams and online fraud networks demand smarter detection, ethical AI adoption as well as coordinated enforcement. Through insightful keynotes, interactive panels, forward-thinking dialogues, participants will gain useful tools which could strengthen organisational resilience, protect investor’s confidence, uphold ethical conduct as well as market integrity.
By the end of the conference, participants will be able to:
  1. describe how advances in AI are enabling fraud to become an automated and scalable industry that has impacted organisational governance and resilience
  2. examine how AI-generated synthetic identities exploit weaknesses in KYC and due-diligence checks
  3. discuss how deepfakes undermine organisational integrity and public trust
  4. evaluate how artificial intelligence can be effectively and responsibly deployed to counter AI-driven fraud
  5. discuss recent enforcement cases and governance lessons important in enhancing integrity and accountability
  6. discuss how job-scam syndicates use both human trafficking and digital fraud
  7. analyse early-warning signs and innovative methods to improve organisational resilience and market integrity
