The Psychology of Insurance Fraud

Why do people commit insurance fraud? Is it really because they feel it is a victimless crime against a faceless corporation or is there more at play?

In this thought-provoking webinar we will examine these questions and look specifically at how research from the field of psychology has revealed answers to these questions.

By understanding the psychological factors at play, we will be able to mitigate the risk and add another weapon to our armoury in the fight against insurance fraud.
