Frequently Asked Questions

Should I attend?
This is a once-a-year event for anti-fraud and corruption prevention practitioners. The Forum provides practitioners with insights and best practices by industry’s top experts through keynotes, panel discussions and interactive sessions. Attending the Forum will enable you to network with others to help you better understand, identify, manage and prepare to meet emerging challenges.

What does the Forum offer?
We secure highly sought-after and brilliant speakers who present their material in a close and conversational environment. Because we limit attendee numbers, our excellent speakers are able to provide relevant “Take Back” information and tools that can be utilised back at your workplace and community. It is all very well in having information on what corruption is, however being able to apply that information back in the workplace is essential to combat seen and potential corruption. Our Speakers will help identify how to cross the “knowledge gap”.

The diverse nature of our audience enables a variety of perspectives and subjects for discussion. Most importantly, our Forum helps to promote awareness and practical solutions of fraud and corrupt conduct issues in the community.
