Hong Kong, - LexisNexis® has promoted its latest addition of its event banner - Global Economic Crime in a soft launch recently.
In conjunction with the launch of LexisNexis®’ Global Economic Crime conference division, LexisNexis® is proud to present the Global Economic Crime Summit 2009, featuring cutting edge speakers and current issues in AML, Fraud Prevention, White Collar Crime and Corporate Compliance.
Global Economic Crime, money laundering, cyber-crime, terrorist financing and corporate fraud is today increasingly international in character and growing.
Banks and financial institutions are primary targets that money launders exploit to legitimize their illegal money. Governments around the world and professional bodies are actively promoting new legislations and recommendations to combat financial crime. According to a renowned accounting firm’s survey in 2005, 22 per cent of Hong Kong companies experienced fraud in the two years preceding the survey. More and more corporations realize the significance of fraud prevention in order to minimize the possibility of economic and financial losses.
In a bid to make a difference in the fight against money laundering and fraud prevention, LexisNexis and supporting partners are proud to present Greater China’s most comprehensive event on White Collar Crime around Asia.
Exciting and challenging speakers will come from around the world to share their huge wealth of experience and expertise ranging from a convicted money launderer for the mafia, Humberto J. Aguilar who now speaks on prevention of AML and also a world renowned journalist from the UK, Professor Declan Hill who will share his 4 years of intensive and often dangerous research on football match fixing in Asia. He will present a live ‘fix’ with the audience in a highly interactive session to help them understand how match fixing goes on in Asia effecting football match results worldwide.
To add to this, speakers from Transparency International, Utica College USA, HK Government and CSI World- Headquarters will be also on hand to make this conference in Hong Kong the premier “Must See” event on white collar crime in Asia.
The Global Economic Crime (GEC) conference will cover essential Anti-Money Laundering legislation, Cyber-Crime, risks to your company, trends, challenges, internal control and compliance recommendation updates by the speakers. This highly specialized and informative event provides an annual meeting place for the most influential, successful senior business executives, professionals and regulators in Asia.
