Certified Specialist in Asset Recovery The 3rd Annual IAAR Conference, Winning the Endgame of Financial Crime, on November 17-18, 2011, at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, will lead with the panel, “bin Laden's Data Haul – The Lessons It Teaches on 'Analog' Investigations and Digital Techniques," Four top experts will share best practices learned from the bin Laden data recovery for private and public sector computer forensic specialists, experts, investigators, forensic accountants and lawyers. Their presentations will show the steps they must take to extract, analyze, and pursue intelligence and evidence that electronic devices produce and how the data moves through the "sneaker net” that criminals construct to avoid detection. The conference will gather several hundred lawyers, computer forensics experts, investigators, and investigative and intelligence analysts from the public and private sectors. Practical, Actionable Knowledge for Attendees The 15 panels at IAAR's November conference, Taking Back Financial Crime Assets – Winning Where it Really Counts, will arm attendees with actionable knowledge and skills that allow them to succeed at tracing and recovering fraud and other criminal proceeds. Four other panels at the IAAR conference will focus on other crucial subjects in the asset recovery field: •Third-Party Funding of Fraud and Matrimonial Asset Recovery Cases – Best Practices on Using It and Building Protections •Effective Use by Trustees, Receivers and Monitors of Their Special Powers and Tools •Case Study: Tracing the Assets of Your Target and His Fronts Through Bank Records, Social Media and ‘Commodities Flow’ Analysis •Using Obscure Judicial Orders to Freeze and Recover Assets Worldwide - Have You Heard of Break, Search and Mareva Orders? "You can detect the crime, you can catch the fraudster, but if you don't take back the money, you've lost the case," said Charles A. Intriago, IAAR President and former federal prosecutor who also founded the Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists. ACAMS created the landmark Certified Anti-Money Laundering (CAMS) credential which is held by nearly 10,000 professionals worldwide. Asset Recovery Skills are Unique and Deserving of Special Attention Intriago said asset recovery is the endgame of financial fraud. The skills to succeed at this crucial "endgame" of the fraud and other financial crime have been demarcated and set aside as unique and deserving of special focus by IAAR, for the first time. IAAR has constructed a certification exam that leads to the Certified Specialist in Asset Recovery (CSAR) credential. The November conference will offer a CSAR Exam Preparation Seminar on Wednesday, Nov. 16, the day before the full conference program. Taught by top asset recovery experts, the CSAR Exam Preparation Seminar will ready attendees for the exam. "The CSAR certification is the first that focuses solely on asset tracing and recovery knowledge and skills," said Patricia Valdes, IAAR Executive Director. Broad program aimed at honing asset tracing, recovery skills The IAAR conference program in November will also include panels on other crucial asset recovery topics, such as the growing phenomenon of third-party funding of fraud and matrimonial asset recovery cases, recovering assets from third parties when the financial criminal has fled and the assets are gone, effective interviewing and interrogation techniques, and using little-known judicial powers to freeze and seize assets worldwide. The IAAR Annual Conference is expected to draw close to 500 attendees from private and public sector organizations, and a variety of consulting firms and technology providers that serve the practitioners in this growing field. (A few of the testimonials from the attendees at the last two conferences are attached.) "The conference was a terrific collection of new knowledge sources in this important, but challenging field," said William Jennings, managing director of Navigant in Atlanta.
