Follow on Google News | MgDelxis “White-collar Crime” SeriesMgDelxis Group LLP has invited Mr. Mike Comer, an internationally recognized global expert in the prevention, detection and investigation of fraud, to lecture on the seemingly unending financial fiascos happening all over the world.
By: Susan Lim With the growing list of corporate financial irregularities that include Societe Generale (SG), Lehman Brothers, AIG, Satyam Computer Services, Oriental Century, Ferro China, Fibrechem Technologies, Beauty China and Ren Ci Hospital to the ‘Ponzi’ type schemes of Bernard Madoff (Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities), Robert Allen Stanford (Stanford Group) and James Phang (Sunshine Empire), many regulatory agencies are urging investors, auditors, accountants, independent directors and audit committees to be extra vigilant during the current financial crisis. In Mike’s opinion, regulations have all too often simply created a mentality of ticking boxes and of feigned compliance that does little to prevent fraud. He says, “Organizations can cosmetically comply with every regulation, tick all of the boxes, have ethics policies coming out of their ears and can still be badly exposed. Organizations that want to truly prevent fraud, succeed in an increasingly corrupt world and comply with regulatory whimsicality have to think again. You do not dig a better hole by digging the old hole deeper”. Mr. Leslie Teo, Principal Partner of MgDelxis Group LLP commented, “We are indeed delighted to have Mike share his expert opinions on ‘Fraud and The World’s Financial Collapse: The Great Compliance Scandal’, and ‘Investigating Major & International Frauds: Getting Your Money Back’ in Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia. This is a great opportunity for executives and individuals to hear from an international fraud expert, examining the reasons for the lack of financial governance and recommendations for effective fraud controls.” For more information regarding the forum and Masterclass, please visit www.mgdelxis.com/ About Mike Comer Mike is the Managing Director of Cobasco Group Limited, an international community of fraud and legal specialists, based in London.
