United Kingdom, 2024 Cambridge International Symposium on Economic Crime

The 41st Symposium on Economic Crime brings together, from across the globe a unique level and depth of expertise to address one of the biggest threats to sustainable development and the stability and security of our economies.

The undermining of all our institutions by a failure to promote and sustain integrity is of real concern to us all and not merely those who look after other people’s wealth. While much discussion has taken place as to the dangers of corruption there are wider issues relating to the abuse of position and in particular the buying and selling of status and influence.

Such conduct saps the integrity, credibility, competence and independence of our institutions, whether in the public or private sectors. In extremis it alienates society from government and our leaders - nationally and internationally.

In addition to the plenary sessions and workshops, every effort is made to facilitate participative discussion and networking in a host of smaller workshops, think tanks and through the college’s extensive hospitality.

At the conclusion of the Symposium students will have an opportunity to visit the Australian High Commission in London with the program academic leader.  This is not a compulsory part of the study program.

The Cambridge Symposium provides a truly unique opportunity to understand the real and practical issues involved in preventing and controlling economic crime at the international level. It is also an opportunity to network with industry leaders and experienced professionals from across both private and public sectors, forging new professional contacts and promoting meaningful cooperation. I would highly recommend the program to anyone involved in AML/CTF, fraud or financial crime prevention.
