Financial fraud can be devastating. The Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission warns that Organised crime groups are increasingly involved in fraud.

Financial fraud refers to a deliberate deception in financial transactions that is committed by an individual or organization for personal or corporate gain. It can consist of a wide range of illegal activities, such as embezzlement, money laundering, Ponzi schemes, identity theft, and credit card fraud. Financial fraud can occur in any industry or sector and can have devastating consequences for the victims, including financial losses, damage to credit ratings, and reputational harm.

Financial market diversification, greater levels of economic activity and technological developments have created increasing opportunities for fraud.

Financial fraud traditionally encompassed superannuation and banking products and now extends to cryptocurremcy.

Further, taxation fraud, financial market fraud, card fraud and identity fraud still persist.
