The British Bankers Association is running a bribery and corruption seminar on February 2, at Pinners Hall, 105-108 Old Broad Street, London, EC2N 1EX.
The organisers say that the Government is due to publish feedback from the consultation process which has helped to shape the guidance on the procedures firms can put in place to prevent bribery. In addition to the Government’s efforts, the BBA have been involved in helping the industry to get ready for implementation and have drafted guidance which seeks to cover specifically the implications of the Bribery Act for the banking industry.
This half-day seminar seeks to explore all of the developments in this area to assist you to interpret the guidance, benchmark your progress against other firms and understand the policies, controls and systems your organisation needs to put in place to achieve a robust, anti-corruption programme. Confirmed speakers include:
* James Townsend, Financial Crime Risk Manager, Standard Chartered Bank
* Joe Brownlee, Head of Compliance Policy, Financial Crime Compliance, HSBC
* Emily Benson, Lawyer – Technical Specialist, Santander
* Louise Delahunty, Partner, Simmons & Simmons
* Richard Cook, Director, British Bankers’ Association
* Robert Barrington, Director of External Affairs, Transparency International
* Satnam Tumani, Head of Bribery & Corruption, Serious Fraud Office.
The same venue will see a March 14 BBA event on mortgage fraud.
The one-day workshop will use recent case studies of mortgage fraud to show how fraudsters are infiltrating the system and explore the investigative tools available. The course will also cover the mortgage market review, the FSA’s Information from Lenders initiative, and an exploration of which mortgage products pose the greatest fraud risk.
This workshop will cover:
* Whistleblowing and the creation of a zero tolerance culture
* Investigative interviewing, witness statements and report preparation
* Investigative auditing, risk assessments and fraud response
* Civil v criminal approach: procedures, outcomes and impact
* Money laundering and the proceeds of crime
