Subject - CIFO Update on Complaint Trends and Themes and How PFS Members Can Help Their Clients Avoid Losses to Fraud
Learning objectives:
- Understand CIFO’s remit and the top complaint themes it is seeing in the Channel Islands.

- Identify the simple controls and advice that advisers can provide to their clients to prevent, detect, and escalate issues quickly.
Learning outcomes:
Following this session, participants will be able to:
- Clearly explain CIFO’s role and the client complaint pathway when things go wrong.
- Use a short fraud-prevention checklist before high-risk actions (verify identity/bank details, independent call-back, cooling-off prompts).
- Act fast when fraud is suspected: stop the money, contact the bank and police, document actions, notify providers, and signpost to CIFO.
There will be Q&A after each speaker.
