CEF/Catalyst Fraudathon 25
CEF looks forward to marking International Fraud Awareness Week by welcoming you to this specialised workshop on combatting digital identity and document fraud.
Fraud can lead to significant financial loss to the public purse and to the erosion of public trust. To mark International Fraud Awareness Week, CEF is delighted to join with SureCert to invite you to Northern Ireland’s second Fraudathon – a specialised workshop addressing these challenges.
As well as including a simulated fraud attack on a public service system, this event will include a detailed contribution from Invest NI who will discuss how it partnered with SureCert to co-create the SureScore verification platform — a locally developed solution that has already screened more than 330 businesses, identified high-risk applications, and dramatically reduced processing times by 80%.
This innovative collaboration between a Northern Ireland public body and a Northern Ireland technology company demonstrates how local excellence can solve global challenges — safeguarding taxpayer money, strengthening compliance, and setting a benchmark for digital trust across public services.
Feedback from the pilot Fraudathon in 2024:
"I had the opportunity to attend a fraudathon event hosted by SureCert and was really impressed, so much so that I asked SureCert to run an internal event for the NI Audit Office! The trainer is incredibly knowledgeable and really brings the subject to life through his engagement with the delegates and by presenting practical examples from his extensive experience.
It was a very insightful event that our staff thoroughly enjoyed and that gave us lots to reflect on".
Suzanne Jones, Director, NI Audit Office
This event is free of charge to CEF members.
Due to the nature of the event, places are limited to 20 – we would ask that member organisations consider the most appropriate attendee for their organisation and to be aware that it may not be possible for CEF to facilitate multiple bookings from the same organisation.
