Deloitte Africa will mark International Fraud Awareness Week by hosting its 2024 Financial Crime Symposium on November 20, focused on the theme, “Cryptocurrency and Financial Crime: Navigating the New Frontier of Digital Threats.”
The symposium aims to bring together industry thought leaders to offer actionable strategies in the fight against financial crime, with an emphasis on cryptocurrency-related risks.
The event will feature discussions led by experts and provide networking opportunities designed to foster collaboration among industry executives, regulators, and cybersecurity professionals.
Attendees will engage in discussions on emerging threats, sharing best practices for preventing and detecting digital financial crimes.
Following the symposium, Deloitte Ghana’s Financial Advisory Department will host a three-day training on Fundamentals of Digital Forensics and e-Discovery from November 27-29.
The training will cover core topics including digital forensics basics, electronic discovery processes, mobile device forensics, and an overview of forensic tools.
Targeted at legal practitioners, IT auditors, finance managers, and cybersecurity professionals, the training will offer hands-on experience in data acquisition, preservation, and forensic analysis techniques.
“Our program provides practical skills in mobile device forensics and data recovery techniques essential for identifying data theft, unauthorized access, and supporting legal proceedings,” said Nii Asafoatse Abbey, Training Program Lead and Associate Director at Deloitte Ghana.
Digital forensics, he noted, is increasingly crucial in uncovering fraud, cyberattacks, and employee misconduct within corporate and legal contexts.
Deloitte, a global leader in audit, consulting, and financial advisory services, continues to support clients and communities in navigating the complexities of today’s digital landscape, reinforcing its commitment to impactful service.
