DoDAF is the architectural “MIL-STD” for future acquisitions, from Investment Strategies to Systems Design. All ongoing and future contracted architectures, systems and technologies must comply with these requirements.

Risk and Liquidity Management in Baking Sector of Ukraine

Feb 19, 2009 - Feb 20, 2009,
Ukraine

Competition continues to increase and, as a recent wave of major acquisitions suggests, foreign capital has a particular interest in entering this sector. The goal of this conference is to present a concise view of what banking in Ukraine is about, how it managed to reach its present state as well as to lay down a stepping stone to understanding the near-term future of this imperative for the country's economy.

Having suggested the immaculate growth of Ukrainian banking sector, the significant financial analysis should be implied. As any business has its’ life circle, it is vital to examine and forecast the industry drivers that move banking sector to the next stage. With foreign capital becoming the major player on the banking market of Ukraine, certain parts of the market, including regulations, become more sensitive to the FDI inflow than others. As a consequence, Ukraine becomes more and more vulnerable to global risks. At this stage the ability to relate high tempo of banking sector growth with fluctuations on the global markets –is the key to building “safe” model for Ukrainian banking sector expansion.

Strategic location of Ukraine suggests high interests from both Russia and West. This would be exposed to the banking sector in the mere future and global attention will focus on the battle of two most influential financial powers.

Finally, coming to a new market means meeting businesses that have been all the way through the espousal process. Customer culture, client care nuances and knowing your competition- is the safety net for throwing business into the new heights.

Programme Management: An Approach for Managing Strategic and Complex Projects (Singapore)

Feb 19, 2009 - Feb 20, 2009,
Singapore Singapore

Experienced professional Terry Deacon says that project managers are akin to orchestra conductors: "They conduct an entire team, ensuring certain parts of the team come in at the right time and on the right note." Complex project management is much like guiding an orchestra through an intricate piece of music. One can acquire the most skilled musicians together in one orchestra – put one unskilled conductor in charge and you will still witness a fiasco. A project that lacks guidance, correct information and relevant skills is bound for failure from the start. Capable project managers can keep the objectives in focus and complete projects on time while effectively managing all resources.

Fraud prevention and anti-money laundering

Feb 19, 2009 - Feb 20, 2009,
Johanessburg, Gauteng South Africa

Commercial crime is growing faster and frauds are more complex and involve larger sums than ever before. The white collar crimes of fraud, corruption and money laundering in both the private and public sectors are costing South Africa billions of Rand a year. There is also growing public outrage over corrupt officials and opportunistic fraudsters who appear to be “getting away with it”."

The investigation of commercial crimes such as fraud, corruption and money laundering requires specialised forensic legal skills and an understanding of the criminal justice system. There is an increasing body of law focused on dealing with the problem of economic crime and more recently the establishment of a Commercial Crimes Unit and Court, which focus on the investigation and prosecution of such crimes, with branches in Johannesburg, Pretoria and Durban.

There is no denying that auditors and accountants have absorbed a large share of the forensics market. However, there are investigations that in addition to investigative skills, require significant specialised legal knowledge, to commence understanding the issue. Furthermore, research shows that financial statement fraud constitutes a very small percentage of all frauds committed. Skilled forensic investigations is a product of both a detailed knowledge of the industry and the legislative framework in which the investigation must take place, as well as focused efficient information gathering techniques.
