Getting to the TruthCliff LansleyCEO, Emotional Intelligence Agency UKLEVEL: INTERMEDIATEUse leading-edge behavioural science to assess lies and truth. Explore the six communication channels and investigative interview approaches to evaluate truthfulness and deception. This interactive session will outline how good questioning tech-niques can be used to amplify behavior that helps you judge the truthfulness from behaviour of a witness or of a suspect within corporate fraud cases.
MONDAY, 21 MARCH10:35-11:50
2A: The 39 (Mis-) StepsHugh Penri-Williams, CFE, CIA, CCSA, CRMAOwner, Glaniad 1865 France
LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE
It may be easy to “fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time,” but luckily it is more diffi-cult to fool those with a nose for fraud. Take a journey through decades of fraudulent activity with examples from the minor to major, trivial to tragic and simple employee to general manager. The session will discuss how a variety of cases were discov-ered, investigated, reported and resolved. It will also identify common causes and possible mistakes made in the past and possible remedies for future fraud cases.
2B: Learning and Benefitting from “DIY” in a Fraud ExaminationDr. Ursula SchmidtExecutive Vice President Audit and Compliance, RTL GroupLuxembourg
LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE
Even just a hint of fraud calls for action. Internal audit teams often face a dilemma between doing it themselves and playing it safe. Do-it-yourself (DIY) solutions come with plenty of risks, particularly for small audit teams that may face issues of resources and experience in the field of fraud investigation. This case study will present, in a non-technical manner, pitfalls, challenges and lessons learned from keeping an investigation in house. In addition, this session will explain the benefits of a DIY approach for an organisation.
13:40-14:55
4A: An Introduction to Electronic Evidence for Non-TechniciansSteven David Brown, CFE Consultant Austria
LEVEL: BASIC
Anyone investigating criminal activity will be confronted sooner or later by electronic evidence. This session will provide a basic intro-duction to electronic evidence for non-technicians. It will explore the nature of such evidence by reference to everyday experience and explain it in terms anyone can understand. It will describe where electronic evidence might be found, address the challeng-es involved in obtaining it and provide an overview of basic digital forensic examination.
4B: Mass Data Analytics: The Hype That Saves the DayMatty Pleumeekers, CFE, RE, ACDA Director, MP Analytics BV Netherlands
LEVEL: BASICData analytics, mass data analysis, big data, business intelli-gence and predictive analytics are some of the hype words in our current day-to-day business. In the hands of inexperi-enced users the hype has led to unexpected costs, loss of focus in their business and a lot of frustration. With standard data analysis methodology the investigator is able to design manageable chunks in order to bring focus to the data ana-lytics. These results can then be used to quantify the expo-sure, find additional cases or help the customer in setting up preventive or detective anti-fraud controls. This session will discuss the importance of data analytics using a case study, show current trends in data and show a standard approach for setting up and performing data analytics.
15:15-16:30
5A: Ethical Investigations That Support a Special Investigations Unit Framework Michael Fitzgerald, CFEHead of Special Investigations, Allied Irish Bank Ireland
LEVEL: ADVANCED
What is the role of investigation staff and management’s behaviours in the commitment of fraud? This session will investigate and highlight the pitfalls and hurdles faced when undertaking internal investigations. It will then proceed to demonstrate the need for a framework that supports the activities of the special investigations department, drawing on the key factor that this is also supported by executive manage-ment as an understanding of the role of the unit. This session integrates the ethical requirements of the special investigations unit and the theory and necessity when planning, investigating and reporting on special investigation cases.
5B: Psychological Aspects of the Investigative Interview: Examining the Mindset of a FraudsterMartin Vaughan Executive Associate, Forensic Interview Solutions (FIS) UK
LEVEL: ADVANCED
Investigative interviewing is an essential element of the inves-tigative process that ensures natural justice and procedural fairness to all parties. To understand the root causes of fraud, psychological explanations should be sought. This session will examine the psychology of fraud. It will focus on the psycho-logical process of how individuals think, act, react and interact within a criminal context and examine the behavioural traits of the fraudster. The session will also provide ethical solutions for the investigative interviewing of individuals who display “corpo-rate psychopathic” tendencies.
TUESDAY, 22 MARCH10:35-11:50
7A: Digital Fraud: Trends and Tools of the Fraudster UncoveredJonathan BowersSenior Fraud & Data Specialist, Trustev Ireland
LEVEL: ADVANCED
Advances in technology have made fraud detection harder; there-fore it is important to use these technological advances to your ad-vantage. This session will cover many areas including the profile of a fraudster, from their demographic to their digital fingerprint, and how to spot them. Also covered are the common tools used and how hackers and fraud forums support each other to bypass exist-ing anti-fraud tools. In addition, this session will discuss the Darknet and how recent hacking scandals are affecting fraud, identity theft and data ransom demands. Learn the new emerging trends and technologies hackers and fraudsters use to avoid detection.
7B: Bitcoin: Forensic News?Peter Temminck, CFE, RFAInvestigator, NN Group Netherlands
LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE
As alternative currencies such as Bitcoin grow in popularity, so do the opportunities for new types of fraud. This session will explore whether these new frauds also require new methods of investigation by comparing the Mt. Gox Bitcoin exchange fraud case with common investigation methods. This session will also discuss other publications and research that provide insight in to the investigation methods used.
13:40-14:55
9A: Finding and Investigating Digital Footprints with Open Source IntelligenceStephen Hill, Ph.D.Director, Snowdrop Consulting Ltd UK
LEVEL: ADVANCED
When conducting an investigation online using Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) techniques, knowing how and where to search while protecting your identity is critical. With a plethora of data available online; the Internet has become a vital tool to anti-fraud professionals as web browsers, search engines and social media monitoring tools have all developed with more capabilities to assist in the retrieval of intelligence. This session will show how to effectively use the tools available online such as geo-location tools for social media, using metadata in pho-tos, and how to protect and hide your identity when online.
9B: Linguistic Identity MatchingVictoria Meyer, CFE, ACCADirector, Swiss International Business Academy Switzerland
LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE
Identity matching is one of the most complex technological challenges facing anti-money laundering (AML) and anti-fraud experts; it incorporates linguistics, culture, formatting and data quality issues. Often, the linguistic elements are ignored and screening systems focus on IT solutions for what is far from being a purely technical problem. This session will look at the different ways that names from different languages and cultures can be presented in identity documents and discuss the challenges of screening data containing these variations without generating too many false positives. It will also look at the linguistic techniques that can be used to overcome these challenges and complete the identity screening picture.
