As we approach the year anniversary of “one of the biggest frauds in UK asset finance”, what has the asset finance industry learnt from the Arena Television revelations?

- What progress have the credit reference agencies and trade associations made so far?
- Will the memory of the latest fraud fade, before the finance providers have been able to act?
- If there was another similar fraud on the way, are we more likely to detect it next time?
