Between our December 2015 and March 2016 print issues, we featured a pioneering one-day conference by the Charity Commission and the Fraud Advisory Panel. A couple of the speakers that day are part of the annual University of Portsmouth annual counter-fraud conference, at Portsmouth on Tuesday, June 7.
They are Jim Gee, the former NHS Counter Fraud and Security Management Service head, now at the accountancy firm PKF Littlejohn, who chairs the university’s Centre for Counter Fraud Studies (CCFS); and Oliver May, of Second Marshmallow. As in previous years the event brings together acaademic and other researchers in the field of fraud prevention and detection; and practitioners.
Morning speakers include Prof Mark Button, pictured, the director of the CCFS at Portsmouth; and Carlo van Heuckelom, Head of the Economic Crime and Forgery of Money Unit, at the European policing agency Europol.
Fraud topics covered by other speakers include food; health insurance; higher education qualifications; and ‘effective communications in international investigation’.
And other speakers include the former City of London Police Commissioner Adrian Leppard, on the Global Cyber Alliance between the US and UK; and Mark Cheeseman, Deputy Director, Cross Government Fraud and Error Policy, Fraud, Error and Debt Team, at the Cabinet Office on ‘Professionalising Counter-Fraud in Government: Moving beyond Investigation’.
