13:00-17:00h

Pre-Conference: the Science of interviewingLeveL: InTeRmeDIaTe

Jonathan DavisonDirector, Forensic Solutions, New Zealand

At the heart of many failed investigations is the inappropriate application of interview methodology. Utilizing a scientifically-endorsed interview method such as the PEACE framework can increase the efficiency of fraud detection and investigations. In this Pre-Conference workshop, you will learn the process for conducting interviews with a clear purpose and learn how to secure a detailed, reliable and accurate account whilst avoiding “confirmation bias”. You will also learn to utilise forensically appropriate questioning styles.


thursday, 21 November 08:30-09:50h

opening Session: Why Fraudsters Are targeting the Asia-Pacific RegionJeffery robinsonAuthor, Lecturer and Journalist, United Kingdom

As Asia continues to homogenize, and the United States has gone international in its fight against tax fraud with FATCA, fraudsters are looking for greener pastures. Natural opportunists, they want a highly populated region with modern banking, an advanced technological infrastructure and real eco-nomic growth, in order to insure their “business” future. They also want a region where multiple bor-ders, multiple jurisdictions and multiple legal struc-tures are built in to complicate.

10:10-11:30h

2a Conducting Fraud Examinations in Conflict and Post-Conflict and Emerging MarketsInTeRmeDIaTe

Mike BairdSenior Law Enforcement Instructor, India

Conducting fraud examinations in conflict and post-conflict zones and emerging markets presents a unique set of issues and challenges. Learn how to assess the environment, recognize common fraud schemes in these environments and identify weak-ness within controls. You’ll also learn how working with local law enforcement can enhance chances of prosecution.

2B theft of trade SecretsLeveL: InTeRmeDIaTe

tadashi Kageyama, CFESenior Managing Director, Kroll Advisory Solutions, Hong Kong

Technological developments have triggered cyber thieves to discover new ways to steal corporate data and intellectual property. Additionally, coun-tries like India, Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong do not provide statutory protection for trade se-crets or confidential information, and in China it is difficult to enforce. Learn what current trends have escalated the risk and prevalence of trade secret theft and how to best protect your organization.

11:30-12:50h

Working Lunch: internal Fraud and BeyondJohn GeurtsExecutive General Manager Group Security & Group Property, Commonwealth Bank, Australia

John Geurts is the Executive General Manager of Group Security & Group Property at Commonwealth Bank, one of Australia’s largest providers of inte-grated financial services. In his keynote presenta-tion, Geurts will discuss how Commonwealth Bank has leveraged their experience with financial insti-tution fraud to combat other fraud risks many large corporations face including contract and procure-ment fraud, embezzlement and vendor fraud.

13:10-14:30h

4a Procurement Fraud: What to Watch out for in AsiaInTeRmeDIaTe

Mark Brown, CFEDirector, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Singapore

Michael SkyumDirector — Advisory Consulting, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Singapore

Asia is home to some of the busiest commercial ports in the world. As global trade continues its rap-id growth in Asia, the threat posed by procurement fraud is greater than ever. This session will provide an overview of procurement fraud in Asia, including the common types of schemes, circumstances that create heightened risk, and fraud detection and in-vestigative techniques.

4B the Challenges of Being an Expert WitnessInTeRmeDIaTe

Prabhat Kumar, DFE, FCA, DiFADirector, Alliance IFA (M) Sdn. Bhd., Malaysia

Forensic accountants’ and fraud examiners’ work product is always subject to criticism and is well-an-ticipated in our adversarial legal system. What basic reasons can lead to the rejection of the evidence of experts? This session will discuss situations that might make expert testimony subject to criticisms, how to keep your work product free from flaws and how to write and defend your report.

14:50-16:10h

5a Processing Large Data Sets in Complex Fraud investigationsInTeRmeDIaTe

Dr. Allan Watt, CFE, CFCEMacquarie University, Centre for Policing Intelligence and Counter Terrorism, Australia

Explore an Australian case study for which the speaker was the lead computer forensic investiga-tor. The case involved the execution of a variety of search warrants, resulting in the collection of more than 200 terabytes of data that all required analysis. Attempting to process and analyse a set of data of this magnitude presents challenges, including slowing the investigation. This session details the dos and don’ts of processing a large set of data, something that will be encountered more regularly in the future.

5B recognizing and Avoiding the Pitfalls of State Secrets in ChinaaDvanCeD

Edward EpsteinManaging Partner, Troutman Sanders LLP, China

State secrets are broadly defined in China and any investigation into a corporation or assets with any state ownership will touch upon information that may be classified as a state secret. Examine the definition of state secrets in China, and learn to identify potential red flags so you can avoid liability for handling information that may be treated as a state secret. This session will also discuss recent cases concerning foreign parties subject to China’s state secrecy laws and regulations.

General Session: Know your Fraudster (KyF)Bruce Dorris, J.D., CFE, CPAVice President & Program Director, Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, United States

This session will examine many of the warning signs that fraudsters give us and identify ways to better manage fraud risks based on these signs.

10:10-11:30h

7C Practical Guide to Fraud PreventionInTeRmeDIaTe

Gaurav Ajmani, CFE, CCEPInvestigations Senior Manager, Microsoft Corporation, India

Fraud prevention requires constant reviewing and updating of existing processes and controls.

9C Anti-Money LaunderingInTeRmeDIaTe

Catherine WilliamsManaging Director, FTI Consulting, Hong Kong

The presentation will address the stages of money-laundering — placement, layering and integration — and the practical difficulties of applying the theory to the funds flow analysis. This session will also look at the current reg-ulatory regimes, the implications of the reg-ulations on business and organisational risk, and what that means for AML practitioners. Finally this session will provide an overview of actual cases, in particular dealing with the ev-identiary requirements for criminal prosecu-tions and the role of the AML expert assisting in such proceedings.

9D using hotlines to Detect and investigate FraudInTeRmeDIaTe

roger Darvall-Stevens, CFEPartner, Fraud Investigation & Dispute Services, Ernst & Young, Australia

The ACFE’s 2012 Report to the Nations con-cludes that “frauds are much more likely to be detected by tips than any other method.” Tips can be received via hotlines (often called fraud or ethics helplines), the Internet, email or hard copy document like a letter. Regardless of the method, the ultimate purpose of whistleblow-ing is to “encourage courage.” Learn best practices in setting up and improving hotlines from the presenter’s 25 years of experience, plus review the latest benchmarking studies, checklists and practices in whistleblowing.

14:50-16:10h

Closing Session: What Anti-Fraud Professionals Can and Are Doing to Fight Fraud in the Asia- Pacific RegionModerator: Jeffery robinsonAuthor, Lecturer and Journalist, United Kingdom

Continue a discussion of Jeffrey Robinson’s opening remarks on Asia’s new “pandem-ic” with a panel of experts. This interactive session will explore how some jurisdictions are dealing with the issue, what you need to know about fraud in this multi-border, multi-jurisdictional and multi-legal cauldron, and how you can turn the fraudsters built-in advantage to your own.
