This event is organised with the Delegation of Australia to the OECD to launch the report “Protecting Consumers from Financial Scams and Fraud”.
As the recent OECD Consumer Finance Risk Monitor 2026 highlighted, financial scams and frauds are one of the top risks facing consumers today, and they can cause significant financial harm. They also threaten to erode consumers’ public trust and confidence in financial products and services and undermine gains made in expanding access to them.
The new report “Protecting Consumers from Financial Scams and Fraud” analyses the drivers of financial scams and frauds, articulates a typology of scams and frauds, and discusses effective financial consumer protection and financial education policies. It reflects the insights of over 100 government authorities and aims to help them and other stakeholders to better detect and counter financial scams and frauds.
The event will include a presentation of the key findings of the report, a panel discussion on current initiatives to protect consumers from financials scams and frauds and a Q&A.
