Fraud Stepping Stones
Check fraud is rarely just a check problem. It can be the opening move in a broader attack that shifts funds across payment channels. While detecting an altered payee, counterfeit image, endorsement mismatch and suspicious deposit all matter in the detection of check fraud, viewed only under that single lens they reveal only the fraud entry point into a financial institution.
Canada’s National Anti-Fraud Strategy
Fraud is a systemic threat to consumer trust, financial stability, and economic resilience. That reality is reflected globally: fraud is now a “top global priority” for INTERPOL amid surging numbers of scams, according to the agency’s Secretary General Valdecy Urquiza. Against this backdrop, the Government of Canada’s focus on developing a National Anti‑Fraud Strategy marks a pivotal step forward.
Agentic AI: Streamlining The Future of ACH Fraud Detection
Cyber-enabled fraud has become a significant financial threat and daily operational challenge for fraud teams.Last year, Business Email Compromise (BEC), phishing and data breaches claimed $14.3 billion, rising at a 19.6% annualized rate from 2023-2025. Alongside these figures is a hard reality for fraud teams: more alerts, greater complexity and fewer resources to manage it all.
Proposed Guidance on Investment Tax Credits for Clean Hydrogen Production Facilities
On December 22, 2023, Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service released proposed regulations on tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act relating to hydrogen. The proposed regulations address two tax credits for clean hydrogen production facilities. The first, discussed in our prior blog post, is the section 45V credit for the production of clean hydrogen (the "45V PTC"), which provides a production tax credit for hydrogen produced over a ten-year period (up to $3 per kg of hydrogen).
Inflation Reduction Act: New Monetization Techniques Are Helpful, But May Be Limited For Partnerships with Tax-Exempt Investors
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”) includes two new monetization opportunities – (i) the ability to receive cash payments from the government in lieu of claiming certain tax credits (“Direct Pay”) and (ii) the ability to sell certain tax credits to third parties for cash (“Transferability”). These provisions were intended to increase the pool of capital for clean energy projects by expanding potential sources of funding based on tax credits.
Spotlight: How pro-life is GOP Congress?
Greg Williamson This year, some 900,000 unborn children will have died in abortion clinics, with no end in sight.Our country faces many very difficult and expensive issues. In spite of that, we should not abandon these children. Under current law, mothers have the power of life and death over their unborn children. A parallel path should be established to rescue these children, mitigating abortion.A voluntary, comprehensive, nationwide support program could be an alternative for these women.
Spotlight: Tax and trade reforms to consider
Greg Williamson Tax reform should be accompanied by trade reform to address our trade deficit in manufactured goods. In 2016, the U.S. trade deficit in manufactured goods was $750 billion. President Trump and others are justified in raising concerns about U.S. manufacturing.Without trade reform, our trade competitors will continue to game international trade to their own benefit. This manipulation could nullify many of the benefits of tax reform.
Spotlight: Make adoption easier, abortion less frequent
Greg Williamson The undercover Planned Parenthood videos and the lack of outrage by the public were very disturbing.Using Guttmacher Institute figures, the number of abortions in the U.S. since Roe v. Wade approaches 60 million. Some 38 million of those would be adults today. There is considerable room for the U.S. to become a more compassionate and generous nation.We can offer women with crisis pregnancies better choices than abortion or being indigent with an infant.
