| The new Research Center on the Prevention of Financial Fraud is a joint initiative by the Stanford Center on Longevity and the FINRA Investor Education Foundation, dedicated to furthering the understanding, prevention, and detection of financial fraud, as well as connecting interdisciplinary research to practical fraud-fighting efforts. In 2009, an expert group of practitioners, policy-makers, and researchers gathered at Stanford's Center on Longevity to discuss the growing problem of financial fraud. Against the backdrop of a rapidly aging population and the increasing vulnerability of trillions of dollars, this group identified three urgent initiatives that this new Center now works to provide: connecting research to policy via conferences and events, consolidating interdisciplinary research in an online resource, and facilitating further study through research and funding. |
