Tom Hardin, Former FBI Informant, Announces June Speaking Engagements

NEW YORK - June 19, 2017 - PRLog -- Tom Hardin, founder of Tipper X Advisors LLC, will be speaking at two conferences during the month of June.

• June 21st, New York, NY, at OpRisk North America. High-profile cyber-attacks, massive operational risk losses, conduct risk and the future of op risk modelling are the key themes at this year's conference which will gather 550+ senior operational risk directors from leading top-tier banks, buy-side firms and regulators from across the globe. The conference will feature noteworthy speakers including top officials from the U.S. Treasury Department and Federal Reserve.
Hardin will deliver the closing keynote address "The FBI on Wall Street – The 1LOD perspective for compliance and operational risk."

• June 29th, Miami, FL, at RiskMinds Americas. The go-to risk management event in the Americas for banks, insurers and asset managers, 250+ risk managers will gather to discuss regulatory changes, emerging risks and strategic planning for the future. Speakers include CROs and heads of risk from investment banks and buyside firms.
Hardin will speak on the topic "Human Risk: How to identify and mitigate fraud before it's too late."

"Human risk is the number one risk for an organization. Regulatory pressures are forcing firms to rethink ways in which they can minimize conduct failure and better manage human risk in the organization," Hardin said. "Unconventional investigative techniques previously reserved for combating narcotics traffickers and organized crime are here to stay in high profile white collar cases. I'm extremely grateful for the opportunity to present a case study into my own personal experience of committing fraud and to highlight areas where organizations can put procedures in place to greatly reduce the chances of employee misconduct from occurring."
