Fraud and Shallowfakes: The Enemy Within

Overview

SSON’s Virtual AP Summit is back again this fall with great content around finance transformation, connected procure-to-pay, cash and working capital management and more.

As this year's summit falls within International Fraud Awareness Week, Medius will focus on how Fraud impacts AP in more ways that you may know. Details on our session below:

Fraud and Shallowfakes: The Enemy Within

Small-scale financial dishonesty is already inside your organization and most finance teams are looking the other way. The Medius Financial Census 2026 found that 87% of finance professionals have ignored a claim they suspected was fraudulent, and 74% say shallowfakes are already common in their workplace. The average cost? $168,204 per organization in invoice fraud alone.
In this session, we get real about the fraud hiding in plain sight, exploring:

• The shallowfake epidemic: Why minor expense exaggerations and AI-edited invoices are normalized and how that normalization is costing you more than you think.
• Detection vs. tolerance: Why having the tools to catch fraud means nothing if your culture quietly accepts it, and what it takes to close that gap.
• Building a zero-tolerance AP environment: From AI anomaly detection and multistage authorization to supplier validation
