MOST INVOICE FRAUD ISN'T CLEVER HACKING

It’s email impersonation, small process gaps, and assumptions like “We’d spot it if something was wrong.”

By the time most businesses realise, the money has already gone.

This webinar exists to stop that.

What We'll Cover:

Why email is the letterbox for fraud

What happens after the money leaves

How IT and finance stop fraud together

Practical Takeaways:

A simple fraud-prevention checklist

Clear next steps for IT and finance.

Understanding where real risk sits

Phil help's businesses strengthen their systems, reduce downtime and protect themselves from the rising threat of email fraud and cyber-related risks. My focus is on scalable, secure IT foundations that let teams work smarter, safer and more efficiently.

Why This Matters Now

Invoice fraud rarely feels dramatic at the start.

It looks like:

A familiar supplier email

A small change in bank details

A team member doing what they’ve always done

And because everything looks normal, no alarms go off.

By the time the issue is spotted, the money is gone — and recovery is difficult, slow, and stressful.

This webinar is designed to stop that moment ever happening.

Not with scare stories.
Not with technical waffle.


But by showing how
IT and finance work together to close the small gaps fraud relies on.

Why This Webinar Is Different

Most fraud advice sits in silos.

IT talks about security.

Finance talks about controls.

But real protection happens in the overlap.

That’s why this session is hosted jointly by:

Affirm IT Services — covering how email impersonation actually works in the real world

Corbar Accounting — covering what happens financially after the money leaves, and what businesses wish they’d known before

Together, we’ll help you understand:

Where fraud really enters your business

Which controls matter (and which don’t)

What simple changes reduce risk immediately

No blame.
No overwhelm.
Just clarity.
