Association of Certified Fraud Examiners

Detailed below is a brief outline of the events planned for the 2007. Further details will follow as each event approaches, so watch the website for these. A new training sub committee has been appointed, and would be interested to hear from you if you feel that you or someone you know could speak on any of these subjects. We would also welcome further input from you about the subjects you would like to see covered. Finally, we still have openings for sponsors and would like to hear from you via e-mail.

Subject: Going to Court

This will be an exciting chance to hear from a range of experts - representatives of the corporate world, the police, forensic services, a forensic accountant, a prosecuting QC, a judge and a defence solicitor - each giving an insight into his or her role in the courtroom. Those talks will then be put into context with a mock courtroom session to be run by Mark Solon, from Bond Solon, the UK’s leading legal training consultancy for non-lawyers. An early evening drinks reception immediately following the first afternoon’s sessions will provide an opportunity both to meet the experts more informally, and to catch up with other ACFE members.
