Increasingly fraud examiners are being confronted with problems they may not have encountered before in a traditional fraud examination. One of these issues is based on the forensic process in retrieving, searching and analyzing electronic evidence. Spend some time with a digital forensics expert who will take you through an overview of the fundamentals of digital forensics as he illustrates the methodology of the forensic process. Learn how data is forensically acquired and precautions necessary to protect the integrity of the data throughout the process. Also, learn how and why planning and optimizing search strategies for effectiveness and efficiency is a critical and necessary skill when dealing with potentially millions of files.

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) has become a priority for the enforcement efforts of industry regulators and a major compliance liability for U.S. companies with overseas operations. The Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) are stepping up efforts to investigate and prosecute violations of the FCPA and are significantly raising the reputational and financial repercussions to noncompliant companies. Globalization requires U.S. companies—and the Certified Fraud Examiners who support them—to become more familiar with the FCPA and the consequences of violations, such as penalties and prison time.
This pre-conference session will give you a working knowledge of the FCPA and insight into the current regulatory environment. We will discuss the potential violations that you should be aware of while working with foreign operations, as well as the basic elements of an effective FCPA compliance program.
