Fraud Wars: Practical & pragmatic approaches to safeguarding your organisation from fraud

About This Webinar

Even the best compliance programmes must move forward when it comes to fraud prevention. As the famous Will Rogers once said, "Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there." With fraud rapidly growing and evolving, every organisation needs to stay proactive.

In this exclusive member webinar, industry expert Gaon Hart will discuss why your Board should concern itself with the new failure to prevent fraud offence and, if changes are required, what practical and pragmatic solutions could satisfy prosecutors.

Key topics to be covered include:

- Prosecutors vs Regulators: Unlike regulators, prosecutors have no interest in assisting companies to prepare. We'll explore how this new offence can be brought against your organisation by prosecutors, providing advice and suggestions for getting the Board engaged.

- Legal Ramifications: A UK conviction could have severe repercussions, including being barred from government contracts worldwide and facing unlimited fine(s). We'll examine precedents in anti-bribery cases, where companies faced substantial fines of hundreds of millions of pounds. We will also look at the potential legal requirements of the offence and how it is likely to require changes to your third-party, joint venture, mergers, employee and other processes to cover 'external fraud'. Your organisation could be held liable if any employee or 'associated' company defrauds someone and the company directly or indirectly benefits.

- Strengthening Your Compliance Programme: Our expert analysis will delve into practical enhancements and 'reasonable procedures' that can satisfy prosecutors. We'll discuss mechanisms over employees, suppliers, independent sales and marketing teams, copyrighters, joint venture partners, and newly merged companies and explore potential technological improvements to protect customers from scams.

Don't miss this unique opportunity to engage in insightful discussions with our expert, Gaon Hart, and fellow participants. Together, let's contribute to the collective efforts of fraud prevention.
