Fraud Essentials: Concepts, Trends, and Credit Union Readiness
Fraud Essentials: Concepts, Trends, and Credit Union Readiness
Chelsea Treboniak
Owner
Critical Ops
Fraud is not a single event - it is a constantly evolving set of behaviors, motivations, and opportunities that credit unions must understand and prepare for. This session introduces foundational fraud concepts, including why individuals commit fraud and how opportunity, pressure, and rationalization show up inside financial institutions. We will translate these concepts into real operational relevance: emerging fraud patterns, points of vulnerability across the member journey, and what readiness looks like from frontline awareness through response and recovery. Attendees will leave with practical procedures, tools, and resources to strengthen their credit union’s fraud posture and protect members in an environment where fraud risk is accelerating.

Governance, Risk & Compliance: Making GRC Work for Your Credit Union
Governance, Risk & Compliance: Making GRC Work for Your Credit Union
Chelsea Treboniak
Owner
Critical Ops
Operational resilience is more than a buzzword - it’s the backbone of how credit unions prepare for and absorb risk in an environment where change is accelerating. This session breaks down governance, risk, and compliance in plain language, focusing on how GRC frameworks actually function inside credit unions of different sizes and maturities. We will explore how risk velocity affects decision-making, how to evaluate and optimize your GRC tools and vendors, and what a “security-first” mindset looks like when applied to governance structures, risk processes, vendor oversight, and compliance workflows.
