Corruption Prevention Network (NSW) - Forum 2025

Corruption, Fraud and Ethics in an Age of Disruption

The Corruption Prevention Network 2025 one day forum will provide practitioners with insights and best practices by industry’s top experts through keynotes, panel discussions and interactive sessions.  Attending the one-day Forum will enable you to network with others to help you better understand, identify, manage and prepare to meet emerging challenges.

An interactive format of plenary sessions and discussion panel and the opportunity to network with other expert practitioners is a must for all organisations in the current business environment.

The diverse nature of our audience enables a variety of perspectives and subjects for discussion. Most importantly, our forum helps to promote awareness and practical solutions of fraud and corrupt conduct issues in the community.

Our Excellent speakers will provide “Take Back” information and tools that can be utilised back at your workplace and community. It is all very well in having information on what corruption is, however being able to apply that information back in the workplace is essential to combat seen and potential corruption. Awareness is one thing however Its time for action.

Our Speakers will help identify how to cross the “knowledge gap”.
