25-26 August The Taj Palace Hotel New Delhi

Focusing on business expansion organizations tend to ignore glaring red flags as a one off, the duplicity multiples and blows a huge hole in the companys reputation and bottom-line when its true nature is discovered. The fact that powerful people could be jailed and denied bail is a paradigm shift in Indian consciousness. Working environment, process and strategy while dealing with suspected or confirmed incident cases of fraud need to evolve and keep pace with increasing sophisticated methods and modus operandi of modern day fraudsters. With cases of fraud some topping the media headlines, it makes more sense to be ready with a plan a strategy which can swing into action immediately without resorting to a knee jerk reaction, being prepared for any far reaching eventualities. Critical reaction timing and hence pre planning are decisive in fraud investigation. How do we bring about a sea change in thinking process, awareness and sensitization of fraud risk management and the investigation process? This comprehensive and experiential sharing forum with experts in fraud investigation and control will converse on:-

Best practices in fraud investigation framework What are the key elements involved in Internal and external communication strategy during a fraud investigation to safeguard reputation without compromising the process Structuring a fraud response and investigative team with skill sets that enable efficient and timely conduct of investigations How to minimize damage while conducting internal investigation Collecting evidence which can stand scrutiny in a court of law Structuring relationships with external investigators
