PIMA hosts Major National Symposium on Financial Crime

May 1, 2007

Protecting the public and customers against financial crime is more challenging than ever before. It involves a co-ordinated and vigilant effort by individuals, financial institutions and law enforcement.

In response to this, PIMA will host a major symposium on financial crime on May 9 in London. The full day conference will bring together major commentators to discuss a wide range of issues. The keynote address will be given by the Home Office Minister for Policing, Security and Safety, Tony McNulty MP. Other speakers include:

¡ñ Hannah Lynes and Wayne Laramee, Financial Crime Policy Unit, FSA

¡ñ Terry Delahunty, Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA)

¡ñ David Evans, Information Commissioner’s Office

¡ñ Doug Reeman, City of London Police

¡ñ Nick Matthews, Kinetic Partners

¡ñ Jon Harvey, Director of Financial Crime, Ernst & Young

¡ñ Mike Adlem, Director, Compliance & Financial Crime, Barclays Wealth

¡ñ Tim Cave, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer

This first class line-up of presenters and organisations will present strategic imperatives while also considering addressing operations and practice for combating financial crime and its many forms¡ªsuch as money laundering, electronic crime, identity theft and internal fraud just to name a few.

Representatives from the FSA will discuss the newly created Financial Crime & Intelligence Division and the expectations on firms for compliance, while a number of private sector providers and security specialists will discuss the recent developments in this fast-moving area.

Firms will find this a very beneficial seminar for staff in a number of departments, including financial crime; Accounts; Operations; Compliance; Risk; Regulation; HR; Training; Legal; and Audit as well as Board members and MLROs.

PIMA Director General Tony Vine-Lott said,

‘This is a very important issue for the industry and for consumers. New technologies and procedures represent extraordinary opportunities, but with them challenges of a similar magnitude. PIMA staff and members have worked diligently to assemble what we hope is one of the pre-eminent seminars on financial crime in London this year. We are very pleased to confirm the participation of Policing Minister Tony McNulty MP, senior FSA officials, and representatives from leading law enforcement organisations like SOCA and the City of London Police.’
