Keynote Speakers

Michael WoodfordOlympus Whistleblower, United Kingdom

From CEO to Whistleblower: Inside the Olympus ScandalTuesday, 18 November | 8:30-9:50

In 2011, Briton Michael C. Woodford, a 30-year veteran of Olympus Corporation, was the first Westerner to be named CEO of the Japan-based maker of cameras and medical equipment. At the end of September 2011, Woodford confronted Olympus’ Board of Directors on mul-tiple occasions asking for answers to financial discrepancies and even delivered a commis-sioned PricewaterhouseCoopers’ investigation report.

Woodford was abruptly fired Oct. 14, 2011, by the company’s executive board because of what the board cited as a “management culture clash.” The ousting was not only sudden and out of character for Olympus, but it sparked many questions about the board’s integrity. Just one month later, Olympus officials publicly admitted to the U.S. FBI and UK Serious Fraud Office to having paid fraudulent advisory fees in a decade-long cover up valuing $1.7 billion. Learn more about Woodford at ACFE.com/Olympus.

Sessions

Monday, 10:10-11:30

2A Integrating Forensic Investigation into Internal AuditingLEVEL: INTERMEDIATE

Gerry Schipper, SAICAGroup Head of Internal Audit, AIA Group, Hong Kong

The internal auditor’s roles in combating fraud are becoming more profound within an organisation. Internal auditors may assume a variety of consult-ing, assurance, advisory, collaborative, oversight or even investigative roles within an organisation’s fraud risk management process. Integrating the ap-propriate forensic techniques into the auditing process is crucial to ensure these roles are carried out effectively. This session will explore how appro-priate investigative techniques can be applied effectively throughout the audit process to fulfil their “fraud combatant” roles within the organisation.

2B Fraud Deterrence in the Organisation Using Forensic Accounting and Data Mining TechniquesLEVEL: INTERMEDIATE

Pornchai Naruedomkul, Ph.D., CFELecturer, Sripratum University, Thailand

Occupational fraud is a critical issue for businesses around the world, and one that must be dealt with urgently. To address the issue and resolve it quickly, organisations should invest in research to identify the root causes. This research attempts to identify the risk factors causing frauds and de-velop a fraud deterrence model to identify potential. This session will use a case study to explore how a fraud deterrence system can help your or-ganisation prevent fraud, improve risk management and minimise losses.

Monday, 13:20-14:40

4A Shaping the Tone of Your Organisation: Redefining Actions and Behaviours of Anti-Fraud CultureLEVEL: INTERMEDIATE

Simone Rogers, CPA, CSP, CICA, CRMADepartment Manager – Enterprise Risk Management, Ambulance Victoria, Australia

Today’s ever-changing environment requires constant calibration of the fraud risk mindset. Leadership plays a critical role in building this type of anti-fraud culture, as does an understanding of how culture plays out in employees and the organisation. Learn what multinational companies are doing to build anti-fraud cultures, with observations from both private and government sectors, from an experienced risk and audit professional.

4B Behind the Financials: Case Studies of Fraud in ChinaLEVEL: ADVANCED

Greg HallahanSenior Director, Global Risk and Investigations, FTI Consulting, Hong Kong

Attacks on prominent Chinese firms listed on foreign stock exchanges have exposed bad accounting and fraudulent activities, but they have also per-petuated and often fuelled the fire of distrust in the Chinese market. A good understanding of the motives and practices of these short sellers may encourage more transparent business activities on the mainland and elsewhere, protect shareholders investments and clear the opaque waters of Chinese industry. Using Muddy Waters Research as the prime example, this session will give an overview, with specific examples, of the techniques of short sellers, warning signs to look for, and lessons that can be learned.

Monday, 15:00-16:20

5A Internal Investigations in Multinational CompaniesLEVEL: INTERMEDIATE

Jonathan DavisonDirector, Forensic Interview Solutions, New Zealand

Are internal investigations in multinational companies systematic? The word “investigation” comes from the Latin word “vestigium” meaning “trace” or “footprint.” Investigation itself is the search for the trace or footprint and if done professionally, demands commitment to enquire in detail, to observe carefully, and to examine systematically. This session will discuss the nature of investigation and highlights how legal, moral and regulatory requirements now define acceptable conduct of investigative practitioners in any multinational company.

5B Best Practices to Leverage Forensic Data Analytics in Investigation and Compliance MonitoringLEVEL: INTERMEDIATE

Chi Chen, CFE, CISADirector, Fraud Investigation & Dispute Services, Ernst & Young, China

In the big data era, companies face the challenge of effectively leveraging forensic data analytics (FDA) to protect their interest, optimise their opera-tions, and grow their business. This session will discuss the basics of FDA, its benefits, methodologies, best practices and challenges. You will also learn about tools to use in your analysis, including the risk scoring frame-work, FDA maturity model, interactive dashboards, social network analysis, and predictive modelling.

Monday, 16:30-18:00

Networking ReceptionJoin us for a Networking Reception, the perfect opportunity for you to meet and converse with fellow anti-fraud professionals while discovering the lat-est anti-fraud services and products. Refreshments and light hors d’oeu-vres will be provided. Registration is complimentary.

PRE-CONFERENCE Sunday, 13:00-17:00

Introduction to Procurement Fraud, Bribery and CorruptionLEVEL: INTERMEDIATE

Eric Feldman, CFE, CIGManaging Director, Corporate Ethics and Compliance Programs, Affiliated Monitors, Inc., United States

The procurement of goods and services, a component of virtually every organisation, is a potential goldmine for fraudsters. Whether circumventing the bid-ding process, colluding with suppliers or submitting fictitious invoices, fraud in this area can be very lucrative. Knowing the warning signs of procurement fraud for is the first step for auditors and investigators in uncovering these schemes and enacting effective preventative measures. In this session, the procurement process will be examined and the associated fraud schemes will be explored. Lastly, the session will cover bribery and corruption schemes, which can enter the procurement process at any stage.

Tuesday, 13:20-14:40

9A Legal Protection of Personal Information in the People’s Republic of ChinaLEVEL: INTERMEDIATE

Edward EpsteinManaging Partner, Troutman Sanders LLP, China

The need for a free flow of information in a market economy has to be balanced against the right to protect one’s personal data. China’s rapid economic growth, electronic communications boom and dig-itization of personal data have all contributed to the enactment of laws and regulations that protect personal information. This session will examine how to identify personal data in China, how it is collect-ed and protected, and how to avoid legal liability for handling such information in the course of a fraud investigation. It will also discuss recent cases concerning foreign parties penalised for breach of China’s laws and regulations protecting personal information.

9B Practical Tips for Overseas InvestigationsLEVEL: INTERMEDIATE

Charlotte Cochrane, CFE, CA, CIIFounder and Managing Director, CC & Associates

Ronald Yu, J.D., LLMConsultant, CC & Associates, Hong Kong

In addition to being costly, successful overseas investigations re-quire additional planning in order to execute in a hostile environ-ment without transgressing any laws. This session will address practical and legal problems you may encounter, including doc-ument and digital data gathering, interviewing using translators, resourcing local investigators and legal firms, and dealing with potential violations of U.S. and UK bribery and corruption laws.
