Fraud and AML departments use different approaches to illicit activity. But the lack of enterprise wide communication in real time can leave the bank vulnerable to client law suits, other financial exposure and liability, including regulatory and legal actions, and bank liability for the crimes of their clients. Recent Ponzi schemes provide a framework for this important discussion.
Expanded Discussion Points:
· Inside a Ponzi scheme – a bank case study
· Analysis of the fact pattern to determine bank complicity
· How does law enforcement view third party payments?
· Can the AML and Fraud Departments collaborate or integrate to be more effective?
· What is the role of the AML professional?
· How does IRS investigate their cases?
· Legal issues for banks and financial institutions

TWENTY-EIGHTH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ECONOMIC CRIME
SUNDAY 5TH SEPTEMBER - SUNDAY 12TH SEPTEMBER 2010
This year the Cambridge International Symposium on Economic Crime will celebrate its twenty-eighth year. It is a testament to the Symposium’s unique blend of relevance, practicality and topicality that over the years it has enjoyed the support of so many institutions and experts around the world. It also attests to the deep concern of governments and financial and other institutions as to the extent of the risks to stability and security thrown up by economic crime and in particular organised crime. The annual Cambridge Symposium is a truly unique event which over the years has made an unrivalled contribution to understanding the real issues involved in preventing and controlling economically motivated serious crime. As a respected and trusted international forum and network it has also made an impressive and meaningful contribution to fostering international co-operation and promoting mutual understanding and goodwill.
