Fraud is a continuing risk for organisations of all shapes and sizes, and in all sectors of the economy. The complexity of universities exposes them to a wide range of fraud risks and, for counter-fraud practitioners in the HE sector, it often seems as though there is neither the time nor resources to tackle the issue fully. It is crucial then that practitioners have HE-specific knowledge to know exactly where to look, and what checks and processes to put in place, to make the most of the resources they do have to minimise fraud.
BUFDG invites counter-fraud practitioners from across the sector to the 2017 Counter-Fraud in HE conference. Building on the feedback from the successful 2016 edition, the conference will provide the opportunity for delegates to network with colleagues from across the sector to share best practice and experiences, collaborate on new ideas, and build knowledge.
Led by HE-specific case-studies, and with a focus on practical solutions, the conference will address a range of issues including money laundering, internal communication, dealing with the police and ActionFraud, student loan risks, turning a fraud into an opportinity, and investigation do’s and don’ts.
The conference will take place on Monday 6th March 2017, at the Grand Connaught Rooms, London WC2B 5DA, and will cost £195. The event sold out last year so, while we’ve moved venue in order to increase capacity, please book promptly to avoid disappointment. Booking will open at the end of next week.
