The Accountability Gap: Protecting Canadian Institutions from International Fraud

As international fraud grows more sophisticated, basic compliance is no longer enough. Education institutions in Canada face a widening “accountability gap,” where the real risk extends beyond fines to reputational damage, operational disruption, and an impacted payment experience. With FINTRAC warning of tuition scams and “money mule” activity, institutions must take action now to proactively protect operations and students alike.

Join industry and regulatory experts for a dynamic discussion on mitigating risk and ways to strengthen your defenses against emerging threats. Flywire executives will share details on our comprehensive Anti-Fraud Monitoring program—combining global security standards, regulatory compliance support, AI-powered risk detection, and human expertise to help institutions mitigate fraud without disrupting genuine student payments.
