By Eric Priezkalns 16 Aug 2016

Today I am in New Zealand, talking to telcos and friends of the Pacific Islands Telecommunications Association (PITA) about the 10 hottest topics in revenue assurance and fraud management. You should really see the complete slide pack but maybe you just want the shortest possible version that skips all my scintillating commentary and supporting data. So here it is!

OTT bypass
Predictive analytics and use of social media data about customers
The competitive landscape for RAFM vendors
Tax audits and liabilities for fraud
Mobile money
Identities and biometrics
Machine learning
Education and professionalization
The evolution towards enterprise risk management
The convergence (or otherwise) between revenue assurance, fraud management and security
