Igor Zaks, President, Tenzor Ltd

Ahead of BCR's 12th Annual Alternative Working Capital Finance Forum, taking place on 30 November 2026 in London, Igor Zaks, President of Tenzor Ltd,

explores the lessons emerging from recent high-profile credit failures and what they mean for the future of risk management in alternative and receivables finance.

The discussion examines the recurring weaknesses behind major financial collapses, including inadequate verification of receivables, double-financed collateral, excessive reliance on credit insurance and governance frameworks that failed to provide effective oversight.

It also considers how lenders and investors must rethink due diligence, moving beyond traditional point-in-time assessments towards continuous monitoring, independent verification and greater transparency across financing structures.

Finally, the webcast addresses the growing role of technology and artificial intelligence in identifying fraud, detecting anomalies and strengthening risk controls, while questioning whether increasingly sophisticated systems genuinely reduce exposure or simply introduce new layers of complexity and opacity.

At the heart of the discussion is a critical question: how can the industry rebuild investor confidence through stronger risk management without sacrificing the speed, flexibility and innovation that make alternative finance attractive?
