Security Alert: Active Fraud Campaign (Posted November 10, 2026)
The Office of Accounts and Reports in conjunction with agency partners has identified an active campaign underway by a fraudster seeking to trick State of Kansas agencies into updating ACH information to a fraudulent bank account. Agency staff are the first and most important line of defense against payment fraud, and they have the opportunity, on a daily basis, to be the hero that stops an attempted fraud against the State of Kansas.
Agency staff that work with suppliers to process ACH bank account updates are hereby reminded that all steps in the verification process must be executed as required. The agency staff signature on the ACH request form is a personal certification that all steps have been accurately completed as required by the validation procedures.
Thank you,
The SMART Team
