Guest Speakers: René Hamel, Director, Forensics and E-Discovery, TELUS Security Solutions
Roddy Allan, Partner, Deloitte Forensic
Dealing with an important investigation of potential fraud, or other serious misconduct, requires good judgment and an understanding of the legal options, investigative techniques and forensic tools that can be used to obtain evidence and pursue remedies. Most people faced with a complex investigation have little or no knowledge of, or experience with, the process, the options and the judgement calls that must be made very quickly.
A high-stakes investigation is usually complex, urgent, and requires a multi-disciplinary response from experienced lawyers, accountants and computer security experts. Our panelists will explore how their respective areas of expertise are called upon during an investigation and they will do so by using as a framework for analysis and discussion a case study based on a host of their real life cases. Lessons learned from their personal experiences with high-profile investigations will also be discussed.
Leveraging live audience polling technology, this interactive session will allow attendees to participate in setting the investigative strategy and making key decisions as the evidence unfolds, as they would in a real investigation.
