the third annual conference of the
LONDON FRAUD FORUM

Wednesday 30th September 2009
One Great George Street, London SW1



I would like to invite you to the third annual conference of the London Fraud Forum.

We are all, of course, aware of all the headlines and surveys pointing to the inevitable rise in fraud in the current economic climate:

“Recession fuels sharp rise in financial crime”
“Corporate anti-fraud efforts at risk from large-scale redundancy programmes”
“New research reveals widespread tolerance of unscrupulous behaviour”

Two years on from our inception, the objective of the London Fraud Forum has therefore become even more important than when we started: to bring together businesses and organisations from both the public and private sectors to combine forces to tackle the growing threat from fraud head on, by actively sharing knowledge, ideas and experiences.

For our third annual conference we have again put together a programme that focuses on many of the key issues currently facing all practitioners from across the whole spectrum of the anti-fraud community, providing important updates on the latest developments and trends in existing frauds, and what new types of fraud are becoming more prevalent. There are also vital practical breakout sessions on issues including:

how to lower the risk of your organisation being hit by bribery and corruption

creating a successful anti-fraud culture within your organisation

what to do when you discover a fraud, and how to impose sanctions

how to recover the proceeds of fraud.

We have again brought together a panel of expert speakers for the conference, who will share with you their insights and experience. We have carefully planned the programme to provide you with invaluable information that you can take back to your workplace to assist you in the day-to-day business of combating financial fraud.

Last year’s event was extremely well received, and was again a sell-out, with over 250 people attending.

Our third annual conference is an ideal opportunity for existing London Fraud Forum members to meet and network with fellow anti-fraud practitioners who you may have met at previous events, but it also provides a very useful introduction for new members to the work of the organisation and the benefits of joining. The conference delegate fee of only £120 + VAT includes a year’s membership of the organisation – so represents amazingly good value!

We very much hope you will to want to join your fellow anti-fraud professionals from the London region and outside, to ensure that we continue to combine all our efforts in strengthening the fight against financial crime. I look forward to meeting you at the conference, and during the course of the coming year.


Alan Day
Chairman
London Fraud Forum
