About the event

Since our first fraud conference three years ago, fraud has more than doubled in the GCC with total losses for 2007 hitting US$45 million. Moreover, 90% of white-collar crimes in the region are now committed by companies’ own staff. Why have we seen this increase?

According to leading experts, fraudsters globally have began to focus more definitively on defrauding companies in the Middle East region. They have a ‘fraud technique’ knowledge base that spans the globe and is constantly evolving to take advantage of loopholes and weaknesses in today’s Middle East corporate environment. i.e. Middle East fraudsters are on par with fraudsters around the world when it comes to technical ability.

Meanwhile, Middle East businesses have yet to fully establish their ability to fight fraud, though progress has been made. This imbalance between the global knowledge of fraudsters and the regional knowledge of anti-fraud agents has led to our current condition. To turn the tables and give your company the upper-hand, IIR Middle East proudly brings you the highly anticipated and extremely beneficial Fraud 2008.

As you know, creating an effective framework to detect and combat fraud is a difficult task. Further, the ongoing task of maintaining corporate awareness, gaining trust among employees, defining fraud within an organisation and correcting fraud when it arises is even more difficult. Fraud 2008 will tackle these issues head-on with practical, real-world case studies to provide you with the necessary tools to decrease fraud at your company.

IIR’s Fraud 2008, will put you in touch with world-class professionals as well as best practice regional leaders who share your passion for organisational security. With many networking and benchmarking opportunities, you can’t afford to miss this event.
