The 32nd Cambridge international symposium on economic crime, at Jesus College. Professor Barry AK Rider, Executive Director and Co-Chairman of the Symposium said before the event: “As governments attempt to wrestle with serious crime those who in the ordinary course of their business or profession look after other people’s wealth are increasingly placed in the forefront of this fight. Obligations to inquire, report suspicions and assist in the disruption of criminal and abusive activity, greatly increase the legal and other risks faced by managers and those who advise them.”
A theme of the week-long event was the use and misuse of information.
