Programme:

Invoice Fraud – Liisa Lahti
Invoice fraud covers a number of possible factual scenarios including situations where a fraudster submits a fake invoice that is paid or convinces a person or organisation to amend the payee details on a properly submitted invoice.  Liisa will discuss some of the possible consequences and claims arising in the context of such fraud.  Who suffers the loss?  What duties do the remitting and receiving banks owe to the payer and/or the payee?  Does the Payment Services Regulation assist?

Bob Wigley, Chairman at UK Finance, looks at the latest uses of technology to combat card and/or wider fraud or money laundering.

Yash Kulkarni provides a tour of the law on bribery in the context of deals and commercial relationships, and some recent clarification of how responsibility for bribes is gauged.
