2A Fraud in the Microfinancing SectorSunday, 8:30-9:50LEVEL: ADVANCED

Numan Amjad, ACFA, ACA, ACCAHead of Internal Audit - Pakistan FINCA Microfinance Bank Ltd.

PAKISTAN

With the increase in global poverty, the need for microfinance is growing rapidly. Microfinancing is largely based on a de-centralised lending model, which raises the fraud probability. A strong and carefully designed and operated fraud detection and deterrence system is thus essential for microfinance or-ganisations. This session will explore the general need for mi-crofinance in today’s world and elaborate on the inherent fraud risk. It will also discuss the importance of an effective and ef-ficient fraud detection and deterrence system for the achieve-ment of the “double bottom line” — the social and financial objectives of microfinance.

David Cafferty, CFE, FCMA, MCSI, CGMASenior Compliance Manager, Capital Advantage Consultants

UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

Virtual currencies are on the rise and fraud examiners need to be aware of the risks, threats and business opportunities accompa-nying their increasing use. This session will provide an overview of the history, development and growth of the virtual currency market, with the emphasis on Bitcoin. It will also review the tech-nology behind virtual currencies, studies of recent fraud cases in-cluding Liberty and Silk Road, regulatory and business concerns, and current trends. It will also anticipate the prospects for future growth of the virtual industry.

Elena Maroun, CFE, ACCA, CRMAGroup Head of Internal Audit/Head of Fraud Taskforce Group, FBME Bank LTD

CYPRUS

Internet banking represents a useful service often chosen by cli-ents around the world for its convenience and allowed mobility. This service is usually well-secured by banks, but less protected at the customers’ end, making it an easy target for fraud. Where is the golden mid-point between protection against fraud and customers’ responsibility? This session will highlight examples of how fraudsters manage to manipulate the system, and how they can be stopped by action based on policy adherence, pro-fessional scepticism and due care.

12A Panel: Global Challenges for Fraud ExaminersMonday, 14:20-15:40 LEVEL: OVERVIEW

Tania FabianiPartner, PwC Middle East Forensic Practice

George D. Kambouris Faculty, Accounting/Finance,University of Dubai

UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

Fraudulent financial statements are a worldwide phenomenon to this day. The risk of fraud by employees exists at any time as well as the risk of management to override controls and commit fraudulent acts to the detriment of investors. The professional independent auditor worldwide is responsible to perform his independent audits in accordance with generally accepted au-diting standards and express an opinion on the audited financial statements.

Sherman McGrew, J.D., CFEProgram Analyst, TSA

NETHERLANDS

Investigating your own colleagues for fraud is an extreme-ly difficult situation and poses unique challenges, partic-ularly when the suspected fraudster might continue to be employed at the same company as the investigator. How does one interview a friend? When is it time to back off from an internal investigation and bring in an outside source? This session will explore how to tackle the inter-nal investigation, detect falsehood and avoid the pitfalls when dealing with coworkers and friends.

12B Fraud Risk Assessments in Financial InstitutionsMonday, 14:20-15:40 LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE

Charanjeet Singh, CFE, CISMHead of Fraud Risk Management, FGB

UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

Investigation reports and loss data provide the fertile ground on which the seeds of a fraud risk assessment (FRA) can be sowed, and the ensuing process should involve walk-throughs, sample testing and, if allowed, mystery shopping to identify the risk scenarios, efficien-cy of existing controls and residual risks. This session will present key challenges and techniques to address during the various stages of the FRA for a financial institution, including planning, field work, presenting the results and follow up. You’ll also learn useful tips on the identification of high-risk processes in the financial institution, standard risk scenarios, mitigating measures, risk rating of the sce-narios and residual risk to derive risk rating.

2C Panel: Taking Your Fraud Examination to Other CountriesSunday, 8:30-9:50LEVEL: OVERVIEW

Moderator: Ralph StobwasserManaging Director, Deloitte

UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

Fraud is no longer local, it is global. Frauds are being com-mitted from outside of the native country against organ-isations at an increasing rate. As a fraud examiner, you need to be aware before pursuing these cases that cus-toms and laws might drastically alter how a fraud exam-ination is conducted. The success of the fraud examina-tion that crosses borders rests on the delicate balancing act of managing the process while not adding additional complexity to the case. This panel discussion will address the risks and practices associated the conducting a fraud examination in a foreign jurisdiction.

Iyad Mourtada, CFE, CIA, CMA, CCSAManaging Director, OpenThinking

UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

Many organisations and government entities in the Mid-dle East are facing unprecedented levels of cyberattacks. However, the infrastructure and culture of many organisa-tions are not ready to deal with cyber threats or establish the right controls. As such, it’s no surprise that the cur-rent estimated value of the Middle Eastern cybersecurity market is nearly USD 23 billion. This session will explore global trends in cybersecurity and the current and future cyber threats facing the Middle East.

6C/9C Fraud Analytics: A Fresh Approach to Mining Financial DataSunday, 14:20-15:40 | Monday, 10:20-11:40LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE

Stephen CroweDirector, Deloitte Corporate Finance Limited

UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

In an age when our digital lifestyles are dominated by icons, emoticons and symbols, have you ever wondered why we still predominately rely on textual rows and col-umns to make sense of mass volumes of financial data? Data visualisation has now come of age in the world of forensic accounting and this session will provide you with a glimpse into the future of visually examining entire fi-nancial data sets through a graphical interface that allows unprecedented access to “information with impact” that might be hidden within your financial data universe.

12C The Role of Internal Audit in the Prevention and Detection of FraudMonday, 14:20-15:40 LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE

Abdelmonem Gabr, CIA, CRMA, CFSAInternal Audit Manager, Ahli United Bank

EGYPT

Fraud negatively impacts organisations in many ways, and although it is management’s responsibility to design internal controls to prevent, detect and mitigate fraud, the internal auditors are the ideal party for assessing the effectiveness of the controls. This session will help you understand the changes and challenges of the internal auditor in fraud prevention and detection, and what value the role can add.

Companies must recognise the need for developing and imple-menting robust anti-corruption and compliance programmes.

The session will offer a detailed explanation of implementing an anti-corruption programme, in-cluding legal framework, corruption risk assessment and common corruption issues.

Bruce Dorris, J.D., CFE, CPA, CVAVice President, Program Director, ACFE

UNITED STATES

Fraud examinations are comprised of many components. One of the most critical is also one of the most difficult to master: the fraud interview. Whether it is fact witnesses or possible suspects, mastering the intricacies of an interview can mean the difference between a successful conclusion to a fraud case or an unresolved one. In this session hear a former prosecutor illustrate some of the best practices of successful interviewers.

The development of a fraud risk management (FRM) programme is a proactive approach to protect organisations, promote com-pliance among the work environment and encourage transparen-cy in the workplace. This session will highlight the key elements and present a case study of Saudi Aramco’s implementation of a risk-based anti-fraud programme that reflects the company’s glob-al presence. This session will discuss two basic approaches for developing an effective compliance programme and examine the three critical stages: planning, deployment and administration.

CYPRUS

Andreas Kapardis Professor, Legal Psychology, University of Cyprus

CYPRUS

Recent years have demonstrated that preventing corporate fraud and corruption can avert corporate collapses. Improving on the fraud triangle, a new holistic model of Corruption and Corporate Fraud Prevention (CCFP) is proposed that comprises three inter-dependent pillars holding the prevention edifice. Each pillar rep-resents one level of analysis and contains specific measures to prevent corruption and corporate fraud and reduce the risk of a financial crisis. The session will critique well-known approaches to corruption and corporate fraud prevention, and then detail the pil-lars of the CCFP model and examine requirements for a successful implementation.
