A Two-View Framework for Fraud Exposure

A Two-View Framework for Fraud Exposure puts reported losses next to detected fraud activity across the banks studied, over the same period. The gap is the exposure most institutions never see. Download it to learn where it hides, why it widens as detection improves, and how to size your own.

About

Most institutions manage fraud against the one number guaranteed to understate it: what got reported.

Reported fraud is a record of what left the building, confirmed, closed, written off. It is clean, auditable, and the smallest honest number you have. Detected fraud is a record of what was actually happening: the suspicious sessions, the takeovers caught before the money moved, the exposure that never became a formal loss. Same period, two very different pictures.

A Two-View Framework for Fraud Exposure sets both side by side across the banks studied and measures the gap between them, channel by channel. Then it hands you the method to run the same calculation on your own numbers.
