Bill Moss is a banker. And not just any banker but one of Australia's most powerful. As Executive Director of Macquarie Bank and Chief Executive of the bank's Banking and Property Group, Bill heads a group of more than
900 people and property investments worth $7 billion.
In the late 1990s Bill was defrauded in a property deal – and by a close friend. When he took the matter to the NSW Fraud Squad, he was told, sorry, but they could not help him! The result of that unsettling meeting galvanised Bill Moss into action. He decided to take responsibility as an individual, and as a banker, to raise community awareness of fraud, and what began as one Macquarie Fraud Lecture to highlight the problem grew into a series. The resulting media attention shone a spotlight on fraud in all its variations – from banking, to property investment, to identity, and to housing and renovation frauds.
