June 29, 2025 4:00 PM | Anonymous member (Administrator)

July 24, 2025 | 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM PT | Zoom


Join us for an insightful virtual session on Fraud Program Management, presented by John Snodgrass, CAMS, CCE, Director of Fraud at WSECU.

Why This Session Matters

While many fraud trainings focus on emerging threats and tactics, establishing a comprehensive fraud program is equally critical. A well-structured program helps institutions prevent, detect, and respond to fraud effectively—and demonstrates strong governance that regulators and stakeholders expect.

What You’ll Learn

In this Lunch & Learn, John Snodgrass will guide attendees through the essential components of a strong fraud program:

  • Program Design & Governance: How to structure roles, responsibilities, and oversight

  • Risk Assessments: Identifying the fraud vulnerabilities most relevant to your organization

  • Control Frameworks: Policies, procedures, and controls that reduce fraud opportunities

  • Monitoring & Detection Tools: Effective strategies and technologies for early warning

  • Response Protocols: How to develop escalation paths, investigations, and remediation plans

Participants will gain practical guidance to stand up, enhance, or revitalize their fraud mitigation efforts—whether in a financial institution, corporate setting, or nonprofit environment.

He now leads WSECU’s fraud program and is a past president of the Northwest Fraud Investigators Association  . His depth of experience ensures this session will be both informative and actionable.
