Forum 2018

 
The CPN Forum 2018 is being held on Tuesday, 4th September 2018. The theme for the forum this year is “Decoding the Corruption Puzzle”. Registrations are now open, so click on the Register Now link to complete your registration.

Join us and learn how your organisation can become more resilient to fraud and corruption, improve governance risk and compliance. Attendees will have the opportunity to refresh networks with industry peers, all who share your common interest. 

The Corruption Prevention Network (CPN) came into being in 1994 when practitioners together with officers from the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) and Audit Office began meeting to consider how best to address systemic issues repeatedly exposed in internal and external investigations. Since then we have evolved into what we are today, an incorporated body operating through an organising committee of elected volunteers. Our primary purpose is to support anti-fraud and corruption practitioners throughout the state of NSW, to better understand the current issues and techniques in today’s market place and bridge the gap between public and private sectors by highlighting risks that span both industries.
 
We at the CPN interact with practitioners and members in a number of ways, check out our website at www.corruptionprevention.net and look for the latest free seminars on offer. The CPN Forum is a one-day cost effective forum that delivers value for money. Learn of the latest prevention, detection and responses to minimise the impact of fraud and corruption, together with some of the more prevalent risks within the market place today. It will also provide you with different perspectives and insights to make you more effective in the preventive work that you do.
 
The forum designed for public, private and NGO sector professionals will especially appeal to all working in roles that touch on;

  • Governance, Risk and Compliance
  • Audit
  • Fraud and Corruption prevention
  • Regulation

“Impact of National Culture on Trust, Ethics and CSR”
How we view what’s right or wrong, acceptable or not acceptable in our lives will vary based on the cultural lens. In a multi-cultural society, the challenges when we see behaviours such as not speaking up, or behaviour being driven by short-term gain. Working across different countries, these challenges can be difficult to negotiate. This keynote will introduce the audience to the key national culture dimensions that impact the way we build trust, view ethics and influence how Corporate Social Responsibility is viewed and applied.
