In-person event

Financial crime poses many challenges and affects a multitude of sectors, in Australia and globally. As offenders become more sophisticated, new vulnerabilities emerge, and law enforcement has to adapt. While the criminal justice responses have been swift and emphatic in some sectors, they have been cumbersome and lethargic in others. Variations in criminalisation and enforcement can also be discerned geographically with many law-making initiatives originating in the EU rather than other parts of the world.

Against this context, this symposium will examine different aspects of, and global perspectives on, financial crime, namely 1) policing welfare fraud; 2) cultural property crime; 3) federal proceeds of crime; and 4) civil recovery of criminal property.
