Speakers at The Financial Crime Forum Asia Pacific 2006 - 1

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and London, England, 13 April 2006.

The Financial Crime Forum Asia Pacific will take place in Hong Kong from 5-7 June 2006. Confirmed speakers include

Adam Courtenay : Adam has been researching money laundering for the past ten years and presenting his findings in a series of publications. His detailed knowledge of the structure of the offshore industry will enable delegates to refine their risk matrix to aid compliance with the demands made by US banks under the USA PATRIOT Act.

John Walker: while others generate publicity for wild estimates of the extent of money laundering, John Walker modestly devotes much of his life to the development of complex models to identify risks and to quantify aspects of the money laundering problem.

Dean Smith: whilst working for global telecoms giant British Telecom (now BT), Dean Smith developed a model for fraud prevention. The cleverest aspect of the model is how simple its concepts are. An explanation of the model will aid institutions to think of ways that they can use existing and active data to help identify suspicious activity even before a fraud or money laundering takes place.



Quotes

Nigel Morris-Cotterill, Head, The Anti Money Laundering Network said “The Financial Crime Forum Asia Pacific 2006 set out to provide a speaker panel which is made up of experts in their field, policymakers and others. My team has generated an amazing panel of speakers. We are able to say that the Forum will, genuinely, add to the sum of human knowledge.”

Brian Edwards, Programme Director, The Financial Crime Forum, said “The Financial Crime Forum is a difficult programme to generate because we shy away from those speakers who delegates can frequently hear on conference platforms, and reject all efforts at the commercialisation of the conference platform. It is true that delegates may not recognise the names of some of our speakers. That's because these people are not attention seekers. But they are highly informative and highly influential in their fields.”
