FT Global Events is pleased to announce its second annual Combating Financial Crime: Dubai 2007 to be held in Dubai, Monday 26th November, 2007 to take place at the Madinat Jumeirah Hotel. Sponsoring companies include Entrust, RSA, Factiva and World-Check.
The conference is the latest instalment of the Combating Financial Crime series that takes place in London, New York and Dubai, annually. While financial crime is a worldwide concern, specific issues related to it can be regionally distinct. Therefore, the series is split three ways covering topics unique to North America, Europe and the Middle East, respectively.
”Our first Combating Financial Crime event in Dubai last year was a big success, in terms of the calibre of the people who spoke, the numbers of delegates we attracted and the positive feedback we received. The agenda and speaker list for 2007 is even stronger. It promises to be an interesting and valuable day for anyone involved in the fight against financial crime," says Michael Imeson, Contributing Editor of The Bankerand Chairman of the Conference.
Content: Financial and law enforcement professionals alike will examine regional issues including the growth of financial centres in the Middle East and the growth in the variety of financial services. Both of these phenomena have given rise in the Middle East to the worldwide problem of financial crime including identity theft and money laundering.
Advantage: Delegates will benefit from the applied knowledge to be presented at the conference. They will receive advisories on how to deter, detect and prosecute criminals. Authorities in the financial services industry and law enforcement will outline successful strategies for fighting crime in the Middle East.
The Conference is also an unprecedented opportunity to network with the regional and global players who shape the Middle Eastern financial landscape.
The presence of journalists from the Financial Times and its international publication The Banker will provide for global impact.
