Robert will be making a presentation on “Why Criminals Go International – The Offshore Dimension”. In addition, he will also be speaking at three different Workshops on the following topics: “A Practical Update On Combatting Corruption, Money Laundering, and Financial Crime”; “A Practical Update And Perspective On Economic Sanctions”; and “The APUNCAC (UN Convention) Anti-Corruption Protocol To Fight Money Laundering and Transnational Organized Crime.

The Cambridge symposium on economic crime is a unique event providing governments, institutions and the academy an opportunity to consider and address, from a practical standpoint, a host of threats to our economic wellbeing and prosperity. Over 600 expert speakers from around the world will focus on an array of issues of concern to those, whether in government, regulation and compliance or just looking after other people’s wealth, posed by fraudster, money launders, organised criminals, terrorist or well-meaning legislators and enforcers trying to protect us, but arguably utilising disproportionate or inappropriate tools.
