Fraud and organized crime in businesses: models and red flags

Michael Slim International

The main differences between internal fraud and fraud or crimes committed by organized crime are sometimes confused and only a rigorous methodological approach through the use of specific investigative methods can help the analyst and the Internal Auditor in the prevention and management of such cases. The infiltration of organized crime into companies represents a possible threat with considerable negative effects such as reputational damage, compromise of relationships with stakeholders, economic damage for the entire organization. Starting from the main economic criminological theories, the workshop will review the main fraud schemes, the red flags necessary for their discovery up to the evaluation of the investigation procedures to be used. • Criminological theories • Corporate fraud and main schemes according to ACFE • Internal fraud or organized crime • Single fraudster or team of fraudsters • Organized crime typologies (mafia, terrorism, ...) • Fraud schemes conducted by organized crime models and red flags • Internal investigations and international and Italian regulatory framework: UIF Bank of Italy, FATF – FATF, DIA

Kenanga's Fraud Awareness Week is an important event that aims to educate and empower individuals both within and outside Kenanga to recognise, prevent, and combat fraudulent activities. To mark the beginning of this week-long campaign, Kenanga is thrilled to host the "Virtual Opening Ceremony of Kenanga's 7th Fraud Awareness Week." This event, which will be held fully virtual, promises to be a dynamic and engaging kick-off to a week filled with informative programs and activities aimed at raising awareness about fraud detection and prevention.

 

The Virtual Opening Ceremony of Kenanga's Fraud Awareness Week has speeches from several key persons including Kenanga's Chairman, Y.A.M. Tan Sri Dato' Seri Syed Zainol Anwar Ibni Syed Putra Jamalullail, the President of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, Mr. John Gill as well as the Chief Commissioner of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), Tan Sri Dato' Sri Haji Azam bin Baki.

 

Similar to previous years where the Virtual Opening Ceremony of Kenanga's FAW featured sessions with news-making personalities such as Pav Gill, the whistleblower who courageously spoke up on the fraud at the German fintech company, Wirecard and the English investigative journalist at Financial Times, Dan McCrum whose exposé of the Wirecard scandal earned him the "Journalist of the Year at the British Journalism Awards in 2020," this year will feature Billy McFarland.

 

Billy MacFarland is the co-founder and organiser of the infamous Fyre Festival in 2017. He pleaded guilty to defrauding investors and had been sentenced to 6 years in prison and ordered to pay USD$26 million in restitution. He is a cautionary tale about the dangers of fraud and the importance of doing your research before investing in any business venture. Kenanga's Group Chief Regulatory and Compliance Officer, Maheswari Kanniah will interview Billy McFarland and it promises to be a unique opportunity to hear from a convicted fraudster.

What is Lurking in the Dark Web? - Presented by Dr. Babur Kohy (CyTalks)

Over 90% of internet content is hidden. Activists, hacktivists, nation states, researchers, and those who seek anonymity utilize the deep dark web. Being that 90% of the internet remains hidden, it is important for students and professionals to understand how to navigate the dark corners of the web. This conversation will focus on the dark net from gateways perspective. Participants will have a chance to interact with various dark web gateways; personal laptops with virtual machine is required for the hands-on activities. Concepts learned from this workshop can be tailored for specific use cases based upon scenarios and work mission requirements.

 

Detection of Fraud Schemes - Presented by David Hilton (KPMG)

In this session, attendees will examine a number of fraud models with an emphasis on fraud detection and the red flags that may be observable. It will use various case studies to illustrate fraud schemes and human behavior. This session is relevant to all professionals with responsibilities for fraud risk management, investigations, audit and accounting functions.

 

Improper Payments in Federal Programs - Presented by Ylang Ylang Taitt (Guidehouse)

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) announced on July 13, 2023, a five-principle approach for managing improper payments in response to a provision in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. According to the GAO, the federal government has made improper payments totaling approximately 2.4 trillion USD since 2003. A significant portion of these improper payments are due to an increase in emergency governmental aid programs in connection with national emergencies such as natural disasters, cyber-attacks, and pandemics. In emergencies, the risk of improper payments may increase because the need to provide assistance quickly can inhibit the effectiveness of controls. In this session, Ylang Ylang Taitt will discuss corrective actions implemented by federal agencies and practices to effectively manage improper payments.

Webinar: Fraud System Tuning and Continuous Monitoring

Ernst & Young Financial Services Office
November 16
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
ZOOM - See link below to register.

(Eastern Time)

 

Application fraud is a growing concern for financial institutions (FIs) as they face increasing regulatory scrutiny to combat this issue. Implementing optimized fraud monitoring including tailored risk profiles and behavioral activity, and fine-tuning rules based on real-time feedback can help reduce overall fraud risk by improving fraud detection accuracy and reducing false positives.

 

Covered within this presentation is a data-driven analysis combined with business overlay that was used to update rule scores and LOB-specific policy thresholds of the client’s fraud system. The target goal was to minimize fraud loss and maximize true-fraud capture without significantly increasing alert volume through the following:

  • Rule selection based on LOB risk profiles and transactional behavior
  • Rule and threshold scoring based on optimization methods

 

Through this demonstration, attendees will learn:

  • How analytics can be utilized to tune existing fraud monitoring systems
  • The impact that improved fraud monitoring has on operational capacity and costs
  • Challenges and considerations involved with fraud tuning
