Did you just get the green light to formalize your fraud risk management program? Great! Now what? Are you struggling with figuring out where to start?

Katherine Robinson has made it her professional mission to use her 15 years of experience and three professional certifications to aid and educate those with boots on the ground in the anti-fraud and risk management professions make smarter, faster and wiser choices while aiding customers and victims, educating their communities and pursuing bad actors. She primarily networks with Law Enforcement, Regulators and Banking Professionals to help them better communicate and collaborate about risk management, controls and investigation tactics.

As a Banking Regulator with the State of Washington, she saw the difficulties faced by banks and regulators to enforce requirements that they had trouble understanding that better prevent and detect fraud. And as Enterprise Risk Manager and GRC Professional for banks and credit unions she witnessed first-hand how financial institutions must constantly balance stakeholder interests with the emerging threats faced by their customers. She has been able to successfully use her knowledge and experience from all three industries to advance the objectives of anti-fraud profession, and grow the knowledge, skills and abilities of fellow Forensic Accountants, Fraud Examiners and Fraud Risk Managers.
