Webinar: Beware of the Bogus Bursar: Safeguarding Parent Payments and Reputation
A must-attend webinar for bursars and school finance leaders
Our new research reveals that 100% of UK independent schools have been targeted by fee payment fraudsters in the past five years, with parents losing an average of £3,200 per incident.
Scammers are impersonating staff, intercepting communications, and exploiting weaknesses in payment processes. The financial loss is just the beginning – the reputational and safeguarding risks can be devastating.
Join us on 12 February @ 10AM GMT.
Join Simon Freeman, Managing Director at IRIS Education, for an essential webinar that unveils new research and equips you with practical strategies to stay one step ahead of fraudsters.
We’ll explore:
- How criminals operate: The tactics scammers use to impersonate staff and intercept parent payments
- Assessing your risk: Warning signs and how to evaluate your school’s vulnerability
- Strengthening your defences: Practical steps to improve controls and reduce exposure
- Technology solutions: How automated payment systems reduce fraud risk and how to communicate risks clearly to parents
