Fraud Prevention for Financial Institutions
Tuesday 8 April 2008 - Wednesday 9 April 2008
Thistle Marble Arch, London, W1H
“The biggest threat to the security of banks and other financial organisations still comes from external breaches, with 65eporting such problems. More than 90f financial institutions said they were concerned about the risk of internal security breaches, yet 22ad not provided any kind of security training over the past year (Guardian September 2007)”.
Are your fraud prevention strategies advanced enough to confidently combat the fraud challenge that will present itself in 2008?
The Governments Fraud Review is aiming to make the UK the world’s hardest target for fraudsters. Funding announced as part of the Comprehensive Spending Review paves the way for key recommendations of the review to be rolled out in the near future.
Is your organisation poised to take advantage of the review and its outcomes?
Centaur Conferences are pleased to announce the inaugural Fraud Prevention for Financial Institutions conference,addressing the critical challenges faced by fraud professionals today. Traditional methods of control, predominantly investigation and prosecution have failed to abate the rise of both fraud and money laundering offences. With an increased focus on fraud the financial institutions industry is moving towards a prevention based approach via process, systems and a fraud prevention culture.
Want to know how the UK’s Banks and Financial Institutions have tackled their fraud challenges?
This two-day summit has been designed with, and for, senior fraud professionals within Banks and Financial Institutions. Bridging the gap between business best practices and increasing regulatory demands, the conference will arm you and your colleagues with cutting edge tools and techniques to tackle fraud in your organisation.
Why attend Fraud Prevention for Financial Institutions 2008?
Hear from the UK’s leading financial fraud regulatory authorities to capitalise on key developments in the Government’s Fraud Review
Benchmark your fraud prevention strategies against the UK’s leading fraud executives
In-depth analysis and advice from London’s sharpest legal minds and financial services experts

Major changes are afoot. What do we look for? How do we decide what warrants official recognition? How can we let these places change in a way which respects their special interest? Views sometimes vary widely, but with greater interest than ever in our shared history, ever more attention is paid towards what we protect in an age of great change.
This talk looks at English Heritage’s designation work and looks forward to a new epoch in protecting the past. |

Jeremy Musson, country homes expert, will be talking about the importance of cherishing the old, literally on re-educating ourselves to value all old buildings in our landscapes and in our communities with the same reverence that Ruskin had for medieval architecture in the 19th century.
This requires a reassessment of our approach to conservation, which should depend less on objective and legalistic models which characterises so much of the modern approach so bound up in the planning system, and more on subjective and aesthetic grounds, encouraging people to love buildings, to feel and express affection for them. |

10th Annual London Rail Conference
|
| Start date | |

Link to website |
| Description | |
The Government’s rail White Paper of last July set out the short-term strategy for railways in London and the South East between 2009 and 2014. It established some principles for the longer term, and gave the final go-ahead for the Thameslink project and Crossrail, both of which Network Rail’s latest business plan has provided more detail. Many franchises have also been re-let, and one under Transport for London. So, there is more commitment to developing passenger services in the region over the next few years.
But serious questions remain as to how the government’s commitments will work out in practice, and how sustainable they will be. Will they provide enough capacity for the demands generated by the region’s service economies. Will the investment allocated provide enough support to new development and widespread regeneration? London’s business economy forms the backbone of the nation’s economy, and the capital’s catchment area remains highly attractive. Any failure to provide them with fully effective rail services, risks undermining future prosperity and quality of life.
This conference will address crucial questions across a range of speakers, and enable delegates to identify achievements, barriers and opportunities. |

Technology is also revolutionising the ways that we can use, define, map,
describe, evaluate and talk about 'social layers of place'. Free services
such as Google Maps, Google Earth and Microsoft Virtual Earth, together with
online networking, have transformed the way that we understand cities.
Participants at this knowledge-sharing event will discuss the effect that
computers and communication technologies have on people, space and place,
and analyse the effects of computers in the design process.

Reforming transport governance in England’s sub-regions and city regions

| Description | |
The Local Transport Bill gives local and passenger transport authorities in England the
power to create new governance structures for transport delivery across sub-regions and city regions. This includes the ability to set up integrated transport authorities.
Many authorities are already reviewing their transport governance arrangements in anticipation of the powers being enacted. Ministers say they want to give authorities the flexibility to choose the new governance model that best suits their needs, so the precise powers granted to any area will be set out in secondary legislation.
But these proposed changes throw up numerous questions...
This conference will provide a focus for discussion of these issues and offer an insight into the most appropriate way forward for local authorities across England.
Delegates will learn more about the Government’s proposals and explore the latest thinking from some of the areas that have already started to produce firm
recommendations for their new governance arrangements. |

| Description | |
Philip Venning from the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings wil be talking about the the fate of historic buildings which are all too often settled by short term factors that are just the blink of an eye in the long march of time. Will Westminster Abbey or any of today's buildings still be around 1000 years from now? If they are, will they end up lifeless copies, changed out of all recognition? Philip Venning will examine conservation principles and practices developed by the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings over the last 131 years to help prolong the authenticity of our past.

This lecture will be presented by Tony Juniper, Director of Friends of the Earth.
Sustainability is a goal which most of us have now embraced, albeit somewhat superficially on occasion. But how do we balance the drive towards genuinely sustainable communities in the UK – and abroad – with the need to maintain local identity and traditions, to avoid global homogenisation, and to reconcile sustainable solutions and systems with regional character and customs?
This lecture examines how we can balance the dash for sustainability with rethinking the perceived demand for continuing technological ‘progress’ and, at the same time, with the maintenance and enhancement of our invaluable built heritage.
