  • Fighting Economic Crime - a Shared Responsibility!
    THIRTY-SEVENTH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ECONOMIC CRIME SUNDAY 1st SEPTEMBER - SUNDAY 8th SEPTEMBER 2019 JESUS COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE Fighting economic crime - a shared responsibility! Centre of Development Studies The 37th Cambridge International Symposium on Economic Crime Fighting economic crime- a shared responsibility! The thirty-seventh international symposium on economic crime brings together, from across the globe, a unique level and depth of expertise to address one of the biggest threats facing the stability and development of all our economies. The overarching theme for the symposium is how we can better and more effectively work together in preventing, managing and combating the threat posed by economically motivated crime and abuse. The programme underlines that this is not just the responsibility of the authorities, but us all. These important and timely issues are considered in a practical, applied and relevant manner, by those who have real experience whether in law enforcement, regulation, compliance or simply protecting their own or another’s business. The symposium, albeit held in one of the world’s leading universities, is not a talking shop for those with vested interests or for that matter an academic gathering. We strive to offer a rich and deep analysis of the real issues and in particular threats to our institutions and economies presented by economic crime and abuse. Well over 700 experts from around the world will share their experience and knowledge with other participants drawn from policy makers, law enforcement, compliance, regulation, business and the professions. The programme is drawn up with the support of a number of agencies and organisations across the globe and the Organising Institutions and principal sponsors greatly value this international commitment.

  • Unexplained Wealth – Whose Business? the 36Thcambridge International Symposium on Economic Crime Unexplained Wealth - Whose Business?
    THIRTY-SIXTH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ECONOMIC CRIME SUNDAY 2nd SEPTEMBER - SUNDAY 9th SEPTEMBER 2018 JESUS COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE Unexplained wealth – whose business? The 36thCambridge International Symposium on Economic Crime Unexplained Wealth - whose business? The Thirty-Sixth International Symposium on Economic Crime is the most extensive and ambitious programme that we have so far attempted to put together. The overarching theme is how we can better identify and render accountable unexplained and suspicious wealth. As we increasingly realise that the way in which most of us approach suspect wealth and money laundering lacks efficiency and imposes arguably disproportionate burdens and risks on the financial and business system, it appears a partial answer might be in focusing on the identification of unexplained wealth, but then what do we do? These important and timely issues are pursued in a practical, applied and relevant manner, by those with the benefit of experience from across the world. The symposium, although held in one of the world’s leading universities and recognising the significance of intelligent deliberation, is not a talking shop for those with vested interests – official or commercial. We strive to offer a rich and deep analysis of the real issues and, in particular, threats to our institutions and economies presented by economically motivated crime and misconduct. Therefore, well over 600 experts from around the world will share their experience and knowledge with other participants drawn from policy makers, law enforcement, compliance, regulation, business and the professions. The programme is drawn up with the support of a number of agencies and organisations, and the Organising Institutions and principal sponsors greatly value this global commitment.

    THIRTY-EIGHTH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ECONOMIC CRIME SUNDAY 5th SEPTEMBER - SUNDAY 12th SEPTEMBER 2021 JESUS COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE Economic crime – who pays and who should pay? The 38th Cambridge International Symposium on Economic Crime Economic Crime - who pays and who should pay? The thirty-eighth international symposium on economic crime brings together, from across the globe a unique level and depth of expertise to address one of the biggest threats facing the stability and development of all our economies. The overarching theme for this year’s symposium focuses on who is actually harmed and pays for economically motivated crime and who should be held more accountable. The direct and especially the indirect costs, to us all, of economic and enterprise crime are considerable and impact profoundly on the more vulnerable. Our legal systems are not in the main successful in holding those who engage in or benefit by economic crime accountable. Indeed, crime does pay and often the measures we adopt to discourage it raise more issues than they answer. Possibly we need to place much more responsibility on those who are in a position, by virtue of what they do or where they are placed, to prevent and discourage abuse. These important and timely issues are considered in a practical, applied and relevant manner, by those who have real experience whether in law enforcement, regulation, compliance or simply protecting their own or another’s business. The symposium albeit held in one of the world’s leading universities is not a talking shop for those with vested interests or a rarefied academic gathering.

  • Thirty-Fifth International Symposium on Economic Crime
    THIRTY-FIFTH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ECONOMIC CRIME SUNDAY 3rd SEPTEMBER - SUNDAY 10th SEPTEMBER 2017 JESUS COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE PREVENTING AND CONTROLLING ECONOMIC CRIME IN THE MODERN WORLD – whose responsibility and are they really up to it? The 35thCambridge International Symposium on Economic Crime Preventing and controlling economic crime in the modern world – whose responsibility and are they really up to it? The thirty-fifth international symposium on economic crime is the most extensive and ambitious programme that we have so far attempted. The over-arching theme is simply who is responsible for protecting us from economic crime and are they up to this important task? If not, then how can we assist them to do a better job – for all our sakes! These vital issues are pursued in a practical, applied and relevant manner, by those who with the benefit of experience are best placed to do so. The symposium, although held in one of the world’s leading universities and recognising the significance of intelligent deliberation, is not a talking shop for those with vested interests – official or commercial. We strive to offer a rich and deep analysis of the real issues and in particular threats to our institutions and economies presented by economically motivated crime and misconduct. We are also equally concerned to offer and assist in developing if not solutions at least better practices based on real experience and application. Therefore, well over 600 experts from around the world will share their experience and knowledge with other participants drawn from policy makers, law enforcement, compliance, regulation, business and the professions.

  • Advisers to Ministers 5 APRIL 2000
    RESEARCH PAPER 00/42 Advisers to Ministers 5 APRIL 2000 This paper looks at how the use of personal advisers to ministers has developed since 1974, reviews recent developments and examines the recommendations of the Neill Committee on Standards in Public Life. It also looks at the development of task forces as a source of advice to ministers since the 1997 election. The relationship between special advisers and the Government Information and Communication Service is examined, as well as the current structure of the Prime Minister’s Office. The Government Powers (Limitations) Bill, a private member’s ballot bill introduced by Iain Duncan Smith, is due to be debated on second reading on Friday 7 April. The Bill has clauses relating to political advisers and task forces, as well as other topics beyond the scope of this paper.
