2011 Kongres X

10th Congress (english)

The 10th International Congress Internal Controls, Internal Audit, Governance and Compliance as tools for identifying and preventing Fraud and Corruption.

Since the beginning of the millennium this unique annual event has delivered the latest developments in internal control, internal auditing, risk management, corporate governance, compliance, anti-fraud and anti-corruption techniques; factors of critical importance in the effective management and control of public and private sector organizations alike.

In recent years Globalization, the 'Wider Europe' and the financial crisis have also brought unprecedented challenges to the workplace. Meeting these challenges head on is a difficult and often complex undertaking. While the perpetrators of corruption, fraud and abuse continue their assault this, the10th International Congress, continues the search for distinction in professionalism, protection, competence and superiority over those who would willfully damage our organizations.
