AMENDMENTS IN COMPANIES ACT -2013: Focus on Fraud & Forensic Investigation

1600 to 1800 Hrs, 25th September 2014

CII, in partnership with EY, has scheduled an online Webinar on " Amendments in Companies Act – 2013: Focus on Fraud & Forensic Investigation". The Webinar is scheduled between 1600 - 1800 hrs, on 25th September 2014.

INTRODUCTION:

Corporate frauds have seen an upward trend in last couple of years. While some of the reported incidents of fraud involve third parties, there are some incidents where the act of fraud was committed by an insider. As organisations tend to rely on age old methods for prevention of frauds, fraudsters seem to innovate continually and use more sophisticated methods to commit same kind of frauds. New legislation, like The Companies Act, 2013 has been introduced to curb incidents of fraud in organisations in India. The Act puts the onus on senior management personnel for adequate reporting and prevention of fraud. As per the Act, penalties for fraud could be Imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than six months but which may extend to ten years and shall also be liable to fine which shall not be less than the amount involved in the fraud. All these have necessitated revisiting of existing policies and procedures to ensure enhanced compliance requirements are met by the organization.

OBJECTIVES & KEY TAKEAWAYS:

The Objective of the Webinar is to enable the participants to have a clear understanding of the forensic issues which are covered under the Companies Act 2013. The Webinar would deal with - What constitutes fraud; What would be the penalty for delinquency; Liabilities on auditors and independent directors; How the onus rests on key stakeholders; Increased role/power to Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO); and Establishing a vigil mechanism, besides a Way Forward on 'what organizations may do to increase compliance, reduce the risk of fraud, detect and investigate instances of fraud'.
