About the Conference:-
In recent years, instances of financial fraud have regularly been reported in India. Although banking frauds in India have often been treated as the cost of doing business, post-liberalization the frequency, complexity, and cost of banking frauds have increased manifold resulting in a very serious cause of concern for regulators, such as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Though the banking industry is generally well regulated and supervised, the sector suffers from its own set of challenges when it comes to ethical practices, financial distress, and corporate governance.
The aim of this conference is to discuss and impart knowledge on Corporate Fraud in the Banking industry as well as the financial setup in India.
