			<title>Security Alert: Active Fraud Campaign</title>
			<link>http://smartweb.ks.gov/resources/announcements/security-alert-active-fraud-campaign</link>
			<guid>http://smartweb.ks.gov/resources/announcements/security-alert-active-fraud-campaign</guid>
			<pubDate>Tue, 10 Nov 2026 06:00:00 +0000</pubDate>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;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.&amp;nbsp; 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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Agency staff that work with suppliers to process ACH bank account updates are hereby reminded that &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;all&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; steps in the verification process must be executed as required.&amp;nbsp; The agency staff signature on the ACH request form is a &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;personal certification that all steps have been accurately completed as required by the validation procedures.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thank you,&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;The SMART Team&lt;/p&gt;</description>

			<description>&lt;p&gt;In a continuing effort to improve user experience, the Office of Accounts &amp;amp; Reports has conducted a review of the default Account Code associated with existing Category Codes. SMART only allows one default Account Code to be mapped to a Category Code. Agencies must then review the default Account Code and update it if the value is not appropriate.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
