Financial Crime Compliance Research Interest Group

Description

The Financial Crime Compliance research interest group brings together academics from across Law and Business, as well as lawyers and financial services professionals with a view to:

• producing research outputs
• designing and implementing teaching materials
• providing and hosting seminars, conferences and workshops
• designing tailored financial crime compliance awareness training Group members’ research interests lie in the full range of financial crimes including money laundering, fraud, corruption and financial misconduct. Additionally they have expertise in regulatory compliance. The group supports the work of the Counter Fraud Professional Accreditation Board (CFPAB).

Members of the group, in partnership with AuditOne, the North-east NHS audit consortium, have teamed-up to provide a series of Continuing Professional Development courses for public sector staff working in counter-fraud. Drawing on the expertise and research of members, these courses will strengthen counter-fraud responses in the NHS and disseminate the wider research of group members to partners in the NHS, across the public sector, and beyond.

The group seeks to inform policy, and has recently responded to consultations by the Law Commission, the EU Commission, HM Treasury and others, and also organised the Law Commission’s consultation and closing symposium into the law on confiscation in Part 2 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 on behalf of the University.
