Head of Internal Audit - Pakistan<br />
FINCA Microfinance Bank Ltd.<br />
PAKISTAN<br />
With the increase in global poverty, the need for microfinance<br />
is growing rapidly. Microfinancing is largely based on a decentralised<br />
lending model, which raises the fraud probability.<br />
A strong and carefully designed and operated fraud detection<br />
and deterrence system is thus essential for microfinance organisations.<br />
This session will explore the general need for microfinance<br />
in today’s world and elaborate on the inherent fraud<br />
risk. It will also discuss the importance of an effective and efficient<br />
fraud detection and deterrence system for the achievement<br />
of the “double bottom line” — the social and financial<br />
objectives of microfinance.<br />

Virtual currencies are on the rise and fraud examiners need to be<br />
aware of the risks, threats and business opportunities ac<strong>com</strong>panying<br />
their increasing use. This session will provide an overview<br />
of the history, development and growth of the virtual currency<br />
market, with the emphasis on Bitcoin. It will also review the technology<br />
behind virtual currencies, studies of recent fraud cases including<br />
Liberty and Silk Road, regulatory and business concerns,<br />
and current trends. It will also anticipate the prospects for future<br />
growth of the virtual industry.<br />

CYPRUS<br />
Internet banking represents a useful service often chosen by clients<br />
around the world for its convenience and allowed mobility.<br />
This service is usually well-secured by banks, but less protected<br />
at the customers’ end, making it an easy target for fraud. Where<br />
is the golden mid-point between protection against fraud and<br />
customers’ responsibility? This session will highlight examples<br />
of how fraudsters manage to manipulate the system, and how<br />
they can be stopped by action based on policy adherence, professional<br />
scepticism and due care.<br />

Faculty, Accounting/Finance,University of Dubai<br />
UNITED ARAB EMIRATES<br />
Fraudulent financial statements are a worldwide phenomenon<br />
to this day. The risk of fraud by employees exists at any time as<br />
well as the risk of management to override controls and <strong>com</strong>mit<br />
fraudulent acts to the detriment of investors. The professional<br />
independent auditor worldwide is responsible to perform his<br />
independent audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing<br />
standards and express an opinion on the audited financial<br />
statements. This session will examine the auditor’s perspective<br />
and responsibility on fraudulent financial statements and to disclose<br />
historical evidence of factors, causes and consequences<br />
of fraud detected in the audits of American <strong>com</strong>panies, other<br />
industrialized nations and emerging economies.<br />

surrounding the profession one by one and will evaluate the validity<br />
of many critical concepts in the practical world. It will also<br />
explore how to move forward from these practices and provide<br />

Sherman McGrew, J.D., CFE<br />
Program Analyst, TSA<br />
NETHERLANDS<br />
Investigating your own colleagues for fraud is an extremely<br />
difficult situation and poses unique challenges, particularly<br />
when the suspected fraudster might continue to<br />
be employed at the same <strong>com</strong>pany as the investigator.<br />
How does one interview a friend? When is it time to back<br />
off from an internal investigation and bring in an outside<br />
source? This session will explore how to tackle the internal<br />
investigation, detect falsehood and avoid the pitfalls<br />
when dealing with coworkers and friends.<br />

Many organisations and government entities in the Middle<br />
East are facing unprecedented levels of cyberattacks.<br />
However, the infrastructure and culture of many organisations<br />
are not ready to deal with cyber threats or establish<br />
the right controls. As such, it’s no surprise that the current<br />
estimated value of the Middle Eastern cybersecurity<br />
market is nearly USD 23 billion. This session will explore<br />
global trends in cybersecurity and the current and future<br />
cyber threats facing the Middle East.<br />

Head of Fraud Risk Management, FGB<br />
UNITED ARAB EMIRATES<br />
Investigation reports and loss data provide the fertile<br />
ground on which the seeds of a fraud risk assessment<br />
(FRA) can be sowed, and the ensuing process should<br />
involve walk-throughs, sample testing and, if allowed,<br />
mystery shopping to identify the risk scenarios, efficiency<br />
of existing controls and residual risks. This session will<br />
present key challenges and techniques to address during<br />
the various stages of the FRA for a financial institution,<br />
including planning, field work, presenting the results and<br />
follow up. You’ll also learn useful tips on the identification<br />
of high-risk processes in the financial institution, standard<br />
risk scenarios, mitigating measures, risk rating of the scenarios<br />
and residual risk to derive risk rating.<br />

LEVEL: OVERVIEW<br />
Moderator: Ralph Stobwasser<br />
Managing Director, Deloitte<br />
UNITED ARAB EMIRATES<br />
Fraud is no longer local, it is global. Frauds are being <strong>com</strong>mitted<br />
from outside of the native country against organisations<br />
at an increasing rate. As a fraud examiner, you<br />
need to be aware before pursuing these cases that customs<br />
and laws might drastically alter how a fraud examination<br />
is conducted. The success of the fraud examination<br />
that crosses borders rests on the delicate balancing<br />
act of managing the process while not adding additional<br />
<strong>com</strong>plexity to the case. This panel discussion will address<br />
the risks and practices associated the conducting a fraud<br />
examination in a foreign jurisdiction.<br />

In an age when our digital lifestyles are dominated by<br />

Fraud examinations are <strong>com</strong>prised of many <strong>com</strong>ponents. One of<br />
the most critical is also one of the most difficult to master: the<br />
fraud interview. Whether it is fact witnesses or possible suspects,<br />

between a successful conclusion to a fraud case or an unresolved<br />
one. In this session hear a former prosecutor illustrate some of the<br />

Recent years have demonstrated that preventing corporate fraud<br />
and corruption can avert corporate collapses. Improving on the<br />
fraud triangle, a new holistic model of Corruption and Corporate<br />
Fraud Prevention (CCFP) is proposed that <strong>com</strong>prises three interdependent<br />
pillars holding the prevention edifice. Each pillar represents<br />
one level of analysis and contains specific measures to<br />
prevent corruption and corporate fraud and reduce the risk of a<br />
financial crisis. The session will critique well-known approaches to<br />
corruption and corporate fraud prevention, and then detail the pillars<br />
of the CCFP model and examine requirements for a successful<br />
implementation.<br />
