The 4th Loss Prevention Summit 2013
Cost-effective loss prevention strategies and
solutions– striking a balance between revenue maximisation
and fraud loss exposure
Tuesday 10th September 2013
Cavendish Conference Centre, London
W1
Retail suffers at the hands of shoplifters, travelling
gangs, internal thieves and online fraudsters up to 4
billion pounds every year. Crime and loss prevention forms a
considerable proportion of the overall cost of retail crime
in the UK, with an average expenditure of 750,000 pounds per
retailer.*
As a consequence, retailers need to invest heavily in loss
prevention technology and training to protect their
businesses, but more importantly to ensure the safety and
well-being of their employees, customers and the communities
which they serve. As a result retailers are looking for new
proactive approaches to attacking this serious issue and
managing losses.
Today’s fraudsters are increasingly using techniques that
make online fraud harder to identify and more difficult to
isolate. With e-crime costing the retail sector 205.4
million pounds in 2011-12**, e-crime now equates to the most costly
type of crime affecting the sector. Many retailers now
identify fraud arising from their growing online and
multichannel operations as the biggest emerging issue of
retail crime and needs to be a priority.
The need to engage with local PCCs to help set the agenda to
beat retail crime, share data and collaborate on a wider
range of loss prevention initiatives is essential. The
conference enables retailers to hear how their peers are
responding to emerging crime trends and to obtain the latest
thinking from Government and law enforcement agencies on
tackling retail crime.
Attend this one-day interactive, retailer-led conference to
find out how to:
| ● Learn effective strategies
for preventing and tackling internal theft and
refund fraud |
| ● Promote more effective
engagement between the retail business community
and Police |
