Former Director of FinCEN Jennifer Shasky Calvery, investigative
journalist Andrew Jennings, former FBI agent Eric O’Neill and other experts
will address more than 3,000 anti-fraud professionals gathering for the 28th Annual Association of Certified Fraud
Examiners (ACFE) Global Fraud
Conference in Nashville, June 18-23.
O’Neill entered the world of investigation in a unique way
when the FBI asked him to spy on his colleague Robert Hanssen, who they
believed was a traitor. Thanks to O’Neill’s diligence, patience and bravery,
the FBI was able to capture and convict Hanssen of 15 counts of espionage and
closed the book on what the Department of Justice called “possibly the worst
intelligence disaster in U.S. history.” O’Neill will discuss cyber espionage
with attendees and told Fraud
Magazine, “I will use elements of the Hanssen investigation as a framework and
also to tell an entertaining story. The audience will understand why I say that
there are no hackers; there are only spies.”
Shasky Calvery will address attendees on current issues
in money laundering and corruption along with cases she worked on during her
time at FinCEN. Now the Global Head of Financial Crime Threat Mitigation of
HSBC, she told Fraud Magazine, “We
are all here, working in this industry, because we care about preserving the
integrity of the financial system. We all share a common goal and have a collective
impact when we are all pulling in the same direction, and I’m glad we can work
together. In doing so, we can and do make a difference.”
After cutting his journalistic
teeth at the BBC, Jennings made a name for himself by investigating the
International Olympic Committee and exposing the corruption in FIFA. He told Fraud Magazine, “The only advice I have
for fraud examiners, but it’s important advice, is this: If you know, hang on
in there; you will catch them eventually.”
The conference is the world’s largest gathering of fraud
fighters and will feature more than 70 breakout sessions presented by top
experts in the anti-fraud field. This year will boast several new benefits for
attendees including sessions delving into new case studies, a women’s
networking reception and complimentary Myers Briggs tests and analysis in the Exhibit
Hall. Sessions will cover topics from case studies of fraud in NASA to battling
ransomware and attacks from the Dark Web.
