What is the IASME scheme?

This independent assessment, developed by OBL alongside a team of counter-fraud experts, helps firms to understand and validate which fundamental fraud controls they need to have in place.

The Counter Fraud Fundamentals certification acts as a trust mark to show customers that you take fraud seriously.

Who is it for?

The scheme has been designed for firms of all sizes which may be vulnerable to payment and insider fraud, particularly those in the banking, insurance and fintech sectors, as well as challenger banks, and the following organisations:

• Third Party Providers (TPPs)

• Payment Initiation Service Providers (PISPs)

• Account Information Service Providers (AISPs)

• Account Servicing Payment Service Providers (ASPSPs)

• Card Based Payment Instrument Users (CBPIIs)

• Technical Service Providers (TSPs).

How does it work?

The scheme is an online assessment comprising 60 questions, which cover four key themes:

1. Oversight and control

2. Prevent and detect

3. Respond and recover

4. Data management and analytics

We recommend that someone who handles fraud or financial matters for your organisation takes the assessment.

Once completed, a board member of your organisation signs a declaration to verify that all the answers are true, then a trained counter-fraud expert marks the assessment.

The certification can help your organisation implement the necessary procedures and precautions to help protect your business and customers from fraud.
