Governance and fighting fraud and financial crime in the Digital Era

Roundtable

Governance and fighting fraud and financial crime in the Digital Era

Together with associations of audit firms (ECG and EGIAN), we organised a conference to explore how to work smarter against fraud and financial crime?

Participants got key insights into:

  • Fraud & Financial crime: How to ensure corporate governance is effective in combating fraud, corruption and money laundering?
  • Governance: How can civil society, policymakers, boards, audit and risk committees, and the accountancy profession better cooperate to mitigate these risks?
  • Technology: Can new technologies make the fight against fraud and financial crime more effective?
