ISCA FFC Conference 2019 description

With the theme “Enhancing Resilience in the Digital Era”, the third instalment of the Singapore Accountancy and Audit Convention (SAAC) series aims to provide insights to the impact of digitalisation on financial crime investigations, fraud detection and prevention, and cybersecurity issues for businesses.

Professionals specialising in financial forensics, including forensic accountants in the private sector and investigators in law enforcement agencies, are facing increasingly sophisticated white-collar crimes that require greater application of forensic technology and data analytics techniques to detect and prevent financial crimes.

With burgeoning data, cybersecurity is now more than just an IT concern. Accounting and finance professionals need to expand capabilities to stay ahead and be adaptable in this digital age. The Conference will touch on cyber risk management, highlight the importance of data and cyber security within organisations and how professionals could partner with relevant stakeholders to enhance cybersecurity in their organisations.

With a focus on what lies on the horizon for the community of financial forensic specialists and professional accountants, key conference themes include digital forensics, data analytics, cyber and data security.
