Detective Chief Superintendent Ken Farrow, Head of the City of London Police Force’s Economic Crime Department, will be among the headline speakers at the inaugural Fraud 2005 conference to be held in the JW Marriott Hotel Dubai on 27th and 28th March.
Sharing his insights into the latest trends in corporate fraud and methods of detecting white-collar crime, DCS Farrow will address an audience of senior Middle Eastern auditors, managers, risk consultants and law enforcement officials.
“I think the adage that ‘if you want to catch the criminal you have to be able to think like criminal’ applies more than ever today,” he says. “Fraud increasingly occurs when weaknesses are identified in a company’s procedures and policies and criminals decide that the potential rewards outweigh the risk of detection. Every company must ensure, therefore, that they recognise areas of weakness and know what to do if fraud is discovered. I hope regional delegates will be able adapt international concepts to the cultural and organisational structures of their companies.”
