The US-based Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) is holding its European Fraud Conference from April 11 to 13, in London.
The venue is Hilton London Metropole in W2. Topics include corruption; banking; cyber-fraud; and best practices in fraud prevention; speakers are invited from government and private industry. They include Dr Bernard Herdan, the chief executive of the new National Fraud Authority. Speaking on the related National Fraud Intelligence Bureau (NFIB) will be Det Supt David Clarke of City of London Police, the lead force on fraud.
On the Sunday afternoon, April 11, Ian Younger, a member of the Fraud Advisory Panel, will go over Bribes, Kickbacks and Collusion: Procurement and Contract Fraud, which can include unbalanced bidding, leaking of bid data, bid splitting, unjustified sole source awards and imprest fund and petty cash abuse. Although they are common, they are often hard to detect and prove, he warns.
Other UK speakers include Andrew Durant, of FTI Consulting, on Financial Statement Fraud; and Met detective Lawrie Day and Tyrone Edward, Assistant Director at Ernst & Young, Fraud Investigation and Dispute Services, on how a document mapping tool primarily used in civil litigation has been adapted for aggressive use in criminal investigations in which early examination of electronic material is critical. And Detective Constable Shaun McLeary of the National Terrorist Financial Investigation Unit will go over Operation Mazhar: a case study of Terrorists, Cyber Criminals, Identity Theft, Fraud and Money Laundering.
