Mastek attended Counter Fraud 2026 at the QEII Centre, London, joining public sector leaders and practitioners. A consistent theme emerged throughout the event: technology alone is not the solution. Effective fraud prevention requires structural change, not simply new tools and improving data interoperability may be a critical first step towards meaningful progress. The discussions offered valuable perspectives on the counter-fraud challenges faced by the public sector, alongside insight into how prevention and detection approaches continue to evolve.
