STEP
01
THE BRIEFING
An agent of the Firm meets a Prospect and walks them through a thirty-second briefing on fraud patterns specific to their industry.
TRANSCRIPT · FIELD
AGENT“Mind if I run a 30-second briefing? It's tuned to your industry.”
OWNER“Sure.”
AGENT“Two-thirds of HVAC fraud cases we've documented start with dispatcher routing residential cash calls off-system.”
OWNER“... how would I know if that was happening to me?”
STEP
02
THE LINK
If the Prospect wants to enroll, the agent sends a secure link. The Prospect clicks through and connects their accounting, banking, and operational systems on a read-only, bank-level-security basis. Most Owners are connected in under ten minutes.

OWNER AWARENESS & THE INITIAL REPORT
The moment connections are in place, Owner Awareness goes live — alerts fire in real time when data matches a pattern from the PCFI case library, or surfaces an opportunity to improve Net Profit or EBITDA. The Initial Fraud Awareness Report follows the same day.

Both deliverables carry the Firm's branding and are shared with the Owner and the Firm side by side.

ONGOING AWARENESS & THE RELATIONSHIP
The platform reads daily, an updated Fraud Awareness Report comes each month, and Owner Awareness continues firing alerts in real time. If nothing fires, the Owner has reasonable peace of mind. If something does fire, the Firm is positioned to act — at the exact moment the Owner needs it.
Running the program transforms the relationship between the Firm and the Owner. The Firm comes to know the Owner's business intimately and in real time — not because the Owner was asked to share, but because the Owner chose to share in exchange for the awareness the program delivers.
From the moment Owner Awareness goes live, the Firm and the Owner are sitting on the same side of the table, looking at the same data. Every alert the platform surfaces is a moment the Firm has earned the right to add value, and a moment the Owner has actual data-grounded reason to listen.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
Run the program under your own branding.
The Fraud Awareness Program is the productized way professional services firms — banks, insurance brokerages, CPAs, wealth managers, consulting firms, MSPs — raise fraud awareness with the Private Business Owner clients and Prospects they serve. The Firm runs the program under its own branding, powered by Oware as the underlying platform.
