The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI)\, Chat GPT\, and AI document production has added a new layer of complexity to banking investigations. In particular\, the use of such technologies by wrongdoers to impersonate legitimate banking websites\, social media accounts\, and even create deep fakes of voices and photos has made identifying and prosecuting offenders increasingly difficult. \nAdditionally\, recent regulatory actions have highlighted risks arising from the proliferation in use of off-channel communications\, including personal devices or social media accounts. This has required investigators to adapt to new methods of gathering evidence and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. \nInternal staff investigations have become more complex\, with developments in the burden of proof and investigation reports requiring greater attention to detail and accuracy. This is particularly true in cases involving fraud\, AML\, ABC\, and sanctions\, where the stakes can be high and the consequences severe. \nDespite these challenges\, regulators continue to emphasize the importance of internal investigations in maintaining the integrity of the banking industry. By staying abreast of the latest developments in technology and regulatory expectations\, investigators can help ensure that wrongdoers are brought to justice and public trust is maintained. \nAgenda Items include:- \nFor Good & For Bad: How AI is Impacting Banking Investigations\nTrends in Banking Investigations\nInternal Staff Investigations\nBanking & Crypto – what it means for investigators\nFailure to Prevent Offences\nInvestment Scams \nAnd more! \nView the agenda here and speaker list here. \nView the full programme here \n  \nThis event is exclusively for internal banking investigators. \nEarly Bird Tickets until 5th September: £99 \nGeneral Tickets: £199 \n  \nREGISTER \n  \nPlease note this event is exclusively for the banking industry.

The prevalence of short message data in legal review is escalating at an exponential rate. In Relativity\, short message data has increased more than 430% year-over-year and is expected to surpass the number of emails by 2024. \n  \nRegister \n  \nWhile short messages have helped businesses become more efficient\, the data they generate can be difficult to export and process – creating a complex roadblock for legal teams and investigators. \nConversations about a single topic can flow across platforms or different sub-channels within the same platform and involve multiple parties – who can be added and removed at varying points in time. These conversations can also include shorthand or non-text responses like emojis and GIFs – making their exports unstructured and tricky to decode. \nIn partnership with Relativity\, this webinar explores the critically defensible ways to collect and review short form messaging – a challenge set to irrefutably intensify as chat platforms gain a stronghold across daily business communications. \n  \n  \nPanel \nCristin Traylor \n \nCristin is the Director of Law Firm Strategy Marketing at Relativity\, where she focuses on the legal technology needs of law firms.

The new Law has been drafted following the Manchester arena atrocity\, in which Figen’s son died.  It was Figen’s direct action that drove the change\, for which she has been honoured with an OBE.  Figen will discuss what she went through to raise concerns about security at venues in the UK\, and through her example\, we’ll learn why speaking up is so vital if we want to drive change.  \n  \n\nRegister \nPanel \nFigen Murray \n \n\n\n\n\nFigen was born in Istanbul and moved to Germany at the age of two in 1963. Twenty years later\, she moved to the UK for a new adventure. On the 22nd May 2017\, life as she knew it changed forever. Her son\, Martyn Hett\, was one of the 22 people killed in the devastating Manchester Arena terrorist attack. Figen is the driving force behind Martyn’s Law\, a legislation that will require venues with a capacity of 100+ to improve security against the threat of terrorism\, train staff\, and require all venues to have a counter-terrorism plan in place. \nThis began in early 2019 in Figen’s kitchen as an online petition. Since then\, Figen has been working with a team of co-campaigners and meeting government officials and ministers regularly to formulate how her vision would be put into practice and implemented as law. \nFigen has completed a Master’s Degree in counter-terrorism which helped her to gain a sound knowledge base on what should be incorporated into the legislation. She was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from Salford University in 2022\, and made a Visiting Fellow at the Institute of Strategic Risk Management (ISRM). In recognition of her efforts within the security industry\, Figen was awarded the Outstanding Contribution Award at the 2020 Counter Terror Awards. Figen was awarded an OBE in the 2022 New Year’s Honours List.

As AI usage exponentially expands\, managing the risk of bias in models is becoming increasingly urgent. Especially in a legal setting\, we all have a part to play in actively measuring and managing bias so we can utilise AI that is ethical\, trusted\, and morally principled. \n  \nREGISTER \n  \n  \nPanel \n  \nSimon Scales\, Chief Strategy Officer \n \nSimon’s extensive international experience in corporate investigations includes significant Employee Misconduct\, Fraud\, Bribery\, Corruption\, Antitrust & Competition\, AML\, Sanctions\, Market Abuse and commensurate preventative / remedial measures.
