Transcript of Fraud Investigation and Control Summit 2011
Conceptualised & Organised By
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 company’s 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
