The Conference 2026
Fraud Risk In The Housing Sector
Now in our third year the 2026 Housing Fraud Risk Conference is a full volume wake-up call to the sector: delayed action creates opportunity and the most dangerous fraud risks are often the ones already known but not tackled sufficiently to protect budgets but also to keep people, homes and reputations safe.
Fraudsters can be anyone. They work around the clock to spot opportunities, conceal their behaviour and perfect their tactics, while the sector is balancing
competing pressures to mitigate a myriad of risks across complex systems and processes. Where awareness, prevention and detection fall short, the advantage shifts to the fraudster.
Hear from a range of exceptional speakers who will share expertise, best practice and benchmarking, using powerful stories to highlight how proactive fraud prevention can strengthen reputations and support regulatory assurance.




A Collaborative Conference
Tenet, Newid Consulting and Crowe UK have partnered to bring you this in-person conference bringing fresh content and perspectives designed to help you strengthen your approach to fraud risk and deliver better outcomes across the housing sector.
In a sector where the conversation around fraud often falls short, we’re breaking new ground. It’s time to face the facts: ignoring fraud leaves housing providers vulnerable.
What can you expect from the Fraud Risk Conference?
Join us for a refreshing take on industry conferences. While fraud often gets sidelined and fails to appear as a priority across industry events this conference is about collaboration, learning, and fostering connections among professionals dedicated to fighting fraud and upholding integrity in the housing sector.

Paul Roberts
Paul has worked in the housing sector since 2009, now a respected speaker and thought leader on governance, fraud awareness, detection, prevention and recovery. A key contributor to sector research and published white papers, he led the publication of the sector’s first fraud risk survey, an annual initiative to strengthen benchmarking and improve data transparency.

Why you should attend
Building on the success of our first two conferences, delegates will network with peers who attend from the boardroom and senior roles, alongside those working in risk, governance and finance, to identify emerging and persistent threats, rethink counter‑fraud strategies, and build the transparency needed to truly understand and tackle fraud risk. This one‑day conference will equip housing colleagues with the clarity, urgency and tools to mitigate the daily challenges fraud presents.
Our Associations









MLROs
Housing associations are particularly vulnerable to money laundering even though, as a sector, this is not always recognised. Money launderers can target housing associations in many ways, from providing proceeds of crime to a tenant to fund a purchase, to using a property for illegal activities such as growing cannabis, drug dealing, human trafficking and prostitution.

Fraud NOT on the agenda
Introducing a thought-provoking whitepaper from Tenet Law and Newid Consulting, uncovering the hidden and often understated risk of fraud in the affordable housing sector.
In an industry where discussions on fraud risk frequently fall short, we’re shining a light on overlooked vulnerabilities and challenging the perception—and the data gaps—that suggest Registered Providers (RPs) are largely exempt from these risks. In reality, fraud vulnerabilities often lurk in plain sight, remaining unrecognised or misidentified, leaving providers exposed.

Nothing to see here!
A thought-provoking white paper focused on the affordable housing sector, co-authored by Tenet Law and Newid Consulting. This report challenges the perception that fraud risks are often understated among Registered Providers of affordable housing and explores proactive measures to maximise financial and social returns by combating fraud.
