The European Chamber is pleased to invite you to a half-day event focusing on Detecting and Preventing Corporate Fraud which will be held on 22nd January at the Hilton.
Fraud and corruption are serious issues that no investors want to see impacting their business. However, it is a reality that fraud can hit any firm, especially when companies are operating in an environment with a low level of transparency and considerable cultural differences.
The European Chamber is therefore presenting this topical seminar to enhance fraud risk awareness and to discuss relevant prevention and detection measures. Our distinguished guest speakers will cover the issue from a range of angles. Mr. Peter Humphrey from the risk management firm ChinaWhys will be looking at the operational side, while Dr. Sven-Michael Werner from Taylor Wessing will cover the legal side. Jeremy Lin from HSBC will look at the issue from a financial industry perspective.
Each speaker will share their experiences and offer some strategies and practical tips for avoiding and combating fraud, including attention to these issues within the scope of Small and Medium Enterprises.
