Understanding Fraud and Effective Responses to this Threat
Original airdate: 24 Jul 2024
This month's ICA LinkedIn Live is unusual. Our VP, Tim Tyler, will be speaking to Jonathan Gilbert about the psychology, behaviour and activity of a fraudster, and how we best respond to this challenge.
Jonathan Gilbert was convicted for a series of fraud offences, committed while he was serving the community as a solicitor. He served time in prison but since then has researched fraud to Masters and PhD levels, supported regulators and government departments in developing policy and contributed to wider anti-fraud measures.
ICA and Jonathan, in no way endorse, justify or make light of Jonathan's criminal activity that harmed individuals as well as eroding trust in the legal profession. There is, however, opportunity to learn from past mistakes to better enable compliance professionals to manage the future threat.

Criminal Asset Recovery - Why So Small?
Original airdate: 28 Feb 2024
The recovery of the proceeds of crime has been a key commitment from many governments worldwide. There are many compelling reasons to trace criminal assets, recover them and invest the proceeds in communities affected by the original crime or other worthy schemes. This removes the incentive to commit crime, disrupts the criminal business cycle and removes negative role models from our communities. The level of assets being recovered are, however, tiny, estimated by the UN at less that 1% and some calculations place this at less than 0.2%.
In this discussion, Tim Tyler FICA, Vice President at ICA, and James Rickett FICA, Course Director, Global Lead - Anti Money Laundering & Sanctions Compliance at ICA, consider why global efforts to recover criminal proceeds have been so unsuccessful and what this may mean for the future of AML.
