The Forensic Defence:
How to detect, prevent and respond to the risks of fraud and corruption
in organisations?
Corporate fraud is a global epidemic that has the power to significantly damage corporate
reputation. It harms competition and causes economic losses that can mount up to thousands
of millions of Euros per year
26th January, Madrid (9:00-11:00)
There has been an increase in the number of fraudsters who have seen weaknesses in internal anti-fraud controls as an
opportunity to commit offences.
The use of technology and the refinement of the modus operandi are factors that influence
incidents of fraud and corporate irregularities. The weakness of internal controls is, according
to the report by KPMG Forensic, one of the factors that contributes to 61 per cent of the fraud
cases committed globally.
This highlights the scale of the challenge for many companies, especially those investing in
high risk countries. It also emphasizes the potential benefits derived from tightening anti-fraud
controls, especially in the areas of operation control and compliance.
The study by KPMG also reveals a series of characteristics that typically make up the profile
of the corporate fraudster.
This session will gather corporate general counsels, compliance officers and criminal
attorneys who will debate the best measures to detect, prevent and respond to corporate
fraud. Topics to be discussed include:
