Making counter-fraud connections

13 December 2017      Matt Sisson, Projects and Membership Manager

Following the last few years’ counter-fraud conferences, members fed back to us that, while the content was good, what they most appreciated were the real-life HE case studies as well as the opportunities to network with colleagues from across different professional services.

In response, we’ve produced an alternative format for this year’s conference event. Instead of a single, national conference, we’re running three smaller regional ‘Counter-Fraud Connections’. These are afternoon-only events focused on bringing colleagues from different professional services together, with an emphasis on networking to share best practice and discuss how to keep ahead of the counter-fraud threat.

The three events will feature:

  1. A technical update – on changes to anti-money laundering regulation, and the implications for universities of the Criminal Finances Act 2017 (CFA), and the new Corporate Criminal Offence (CCO).
  2. University case-studies – university colleagues will talk about how they are embedding counter-fraud practice within their own institutions by working across professional services, including finance, procurement, estates, IT, HR, and beyond.
  3. Discussions and Q&A – specific time allocated for topical issues, including fraud prevention, training, and assessing risk
  4. Networking – an hour’s dedicated networking toward the end of the event, with wine, cheese, beer, or just another cup of coffee

The events start at 2.30pm (registration from 2pm), with the main programme finishing at 5pm, followed by the hour of networking until 6pm. There are no limits on the number of colleagues that can attend from a single institution, so please circulate news of the event to colleagues across your professional services. The cost is just £99 (incl. VAT) per delegate.

The final details of the agenda will be confirmed soon. In the meantime, if you have any questions about the event, please get in touch. To book, click on the relevant links below:
