This unique conference brings together law enforcement investigators and prosecutors who handle financial crimes, and private-sector personnel who assist them in doing so, to learn how to apply the latest techniques and technology to combat financial fraud.

Operation Shamrock Founder Erin West will deliver the opening session, “Educate. Mobilize. Disrupt — How We Fight International Scams,” on September 16.

The FCDE Conference is open to:

• All city, county, state, and federal law enforcement officers and prosecutors

• Internal auditors and investigators for public agencies

• Fraud investigators and security officers for financial institutions

• Private-sector personnel who assist law enforcement in the investigation of financial crimes

In addition to high-quality training, this conference facilitates the formation of networks and fosters cooperation among fraud fighters. Attendees receive 15 CLE, DPSST, or CFE credits over 2½ days of training, including one hour of ethics.

This conference is developed and delivered each year through the efforts of the Financial Crimes and Digital Evidence Foundation (FCDEF), an Oregon 501(c)(3) non-profit entity. The FCDEF board comprises individuals from the fraud-fighting community, including state, local, and federal law enforcement; state agency fraud investigators; and fraud investigators from banking institutions.
