New York Chapter of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners

The NYCFE would like you to grab your lunch and join us for the premier of our lunch and learn for Fraud Awarness Week!

We are pleased to welcome Ayana Mortley and Christina McGuire, as they present:

Identifying and Reporting Elder Financial Exploitation

Every year, millions of Americans are victims of financial fraud. Older adults are particularly vulnerable to many types of abuse, including financial exploitation. The current pandemic has created new opportunities for fraudsters and has increased the risk of abuse to seniors. The NYC Elder Abuse Center/Weill Cornell Medicine and Elder Fraud Advisors will discuss ongoing elder fraud trends and look at the current landscape of elder abuse and financial exploitation. In this workshop, attendees will learn how to utilize the resources and programs that exist to combat elder financial exploitation and safeguard older adults.

This workshop will address why, when, and where to report suspected elder abuse. We will:

Identify common tactics used to financially exploit older adults, and the categories into which fraud perpetrators fall.

Explain how elder financial fraud may be a red flag for other types of elder abuse.

Review the legislation that exists to protect professionals who report elder mistreatment.

Learn how to navigate the landscape of resources and programs that exist to address the needs of older adults.

Attendees will be entitled to 1 CPE credit!
