The AO Hall and GTA University Centre conference at the St Pierre Park Hotel. (0599929)

THE second fraud conference organised by AO Hall Advocates and the GTA University Centre has been hailed a success. More than 150 delegates from Guernsey’s financial and legal sectors attended the event at the St Pierre Park Hotel on Friday.

Following the success of the pre-conference dinner with PR guru Max Clifford on Thursday, the conference featured top-level speakers from international legal firms.

Entitled ‘Corporate Fraud is a Very Real Risk’, it outlined how pervasive fraud can be and how difficult it is to prevent and combat it and gain compensation.   AO Hall co-founding partner Louise Hall said she was delighted with the calibre of institutions that had sent delegates.

‘The standard of questions and interest in the subject matter shows how important the issue of fraud is to Guernsey in terms of understanding, combating and preventing it,’ she said.
