​Help Shape Asia's First AI Adoption Study - 5 Minute Survey (ACFE x Asia-ISAC)
(13 July 2026)

Help Shape Asia's First AI Adoption Study — 5-Minute Survey

Our partner, Asia-ISAC — the first cross-industry, member-focused, non-profit Information Sharing and Analysis Centre (ISAC) for companies operating across Asia — has launched "Mapping AI Adoption Across Industries in Asia," a regional research campaign to document real-world AI use cases, adoption challenges, and practical AI roadmaps across the region.

The study will survey 8–10 industries across 20+ Asian markets, covering deployment stage, use cases, pilot experiences, and — importantly for our members — risk posture and governance maturity. Findings will be published as an AI Readiness Industry Report with sector case studies, developed with industry associations, ISACs, and academic institutions across Asia.

ACFE Singapore Chapter is supporting this initiative because AI adoption is reshaping the fraud and governance risk landscape our members work in every day. As organisations deploy AI faster than their controls can mature, the visibility this study creates — into where governance gaps and emerging risks lie — is directly relevant to fraud examiners, auditors, and risk professionals. Your input as CFEs helps ensure that perspective is represented in the findings.

We believe this is a valuable opportunity for our community to contribute. Please take a few minutes to complete this short, anonymous survey.

Take the survey: https://www.asia-isac.org/mapping-ai-adoption

Participants get early access to benchmarking data, sector case studies, regulatory intelligence and an invite to an executive roundtable in August. (Note: limited to 1 seat per company, confirmed on a first-answered basis.)

Thank you.

​ACFE Webinar: Investigate at the Speed Adversaries Move
​(3 July 2026)

🔐 𝗔𝗖𝗙𝗘 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗪𝗲𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿 | 𝟯 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, 𝟯:𝟬𝟬 𝗣𝗠 (𝗦𝗚𝗧) 𝘃𝗶𝗮 𝗭𝗼𝗼𝗺

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗲𝘀: 𝗔𝗜, 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗳𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 & 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝘂𝗱 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗿

AI-enabled attacks are no longer theoretical: they are here.

A recently leaked advanced AI model with superior coding and vulnerability-exploitation capabilities was deemed too dangerous for public release and it may have already made its way into the wrong hands.

Pair that with rapidly advancing deepfake technology across voice and video, and the threat landscape for investigators has fundamentally shifted.

In this webinar, we'll cover:

▶️What AI-enabled adversaries can now do — and how fast they can move
▶️Why digital evidence can no longer be taken at face value
▶️Real-world case studies: recent notable cyber incidents including the ShinyHunters attacks on major cloud platforms affecting educational institutions globally, and the recent GitHub breach impacting thousands of companies worldwide
▶️What fraud examiners and investigators must do now to stay ahead

If you investigate fraud, conduct digital forensics, or manage organisational risk, this session is for you.
