ACFE Brisbane Chapter Meeting 31st August, 2016

5.30PM WEDNESDAY, 31ST AUGUST 2016

WITH SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR SPONSOR KORDAMENTHA

Eventbrite - August 2016 ACFE Brisbane Chapter Meeting

For our professional development, David Lehmann, CFE, Director at KordaMentha Forensic, with colleague Brendan Read, a Director in KordaMentha’s Forensic Technology team, will be sharing their insights on Fraud and the first 48 hours.

Fraud and the first 48 hours

Just like the television series, ‘48 hours’, which highlights this critical time period for investigators following a homicide, other crimes such as fraud also have to be handled carefully in the informative stages.

If the response to significant incidents of fraud is not carefully considered and planned, the risk of a poor outcome increases significantly. Poor outcomes include loss of evidence, inability to recover assets and the possibility of litigation brought about by the inappropriate handling of the suspect.

In this session, based on a hypothetical fraud scenario, we will discuss what should and shouldn’t be done when discovering that a fraud has occurred in your organisation. We will cover issues such as, but not limited to:

 The importance of ‘hastening slowly’

 Internal and external reporting protocols

 Engaging the right stakeholders

 Engaging with whistleblowers and witnesses

 Undertaking appropriate preparation and planning

 Covert or overt actions?

 Preservation of evidence – restricting access to site and systems

 What do we do with the suspect?

 Suspect interviews

 The report

 Engaging with law enforcement.

The ACFE Brisbane Chapter invites you to join us at KordaMentha, Level 14, 12 Creek Street, Brisbane on Wednesday 31 August 2016, 5.00 p.m. for a 5.30 p.m. start.
