  In 2013, the Cambridge International Symposium on Economic Crime celebrated its thirty-first year. It is a testament to the Symposium’s unique blend of relevance, practicality and topicality that over the years it has enjoyed the support of so many institutions and experts around the world. It also attests to the deep concern of governments and financial and other institutions as to the extent of the risks to stability and security thrown up by economic crime and in particular organised crime. The annual Cambridge Symposium is a truly unique event which over the years has made an unrivalled contribution to understanding the real issues involved in preventing and controlling economically motivated serious crime. As a respected and trusted international forum and network, it has also made an impressive and meaningful contribution to fostering international co-operation and promoting mutual understanding and goodwill. The Thirty-first annual symposium focused on the issues that arise from all perspectives, when, as they increasingly must, official agencies seek support from and collaborate with, the private sector in preventing, controlling and interdicting criminal and subversive activity. The near collapse of the financial sector, particularly in the west, has given rise to fundamental changes in the architecture of supervision and the content of regulation. It has also emphasised the resource and other limitations of traditional policing practices and models. The development of new, and in some cases unconventional, arrangements between law enforcement, regulatory bodies and those in the professions and business inevitably throws up a host of issues, which the symposium attempts to address through plenary sessions and specialised workshops in a practical, relevant and constructive manner. Furthermore the regulatory and enforcement environment has changed in many jurisdictions as a result of the financial crisis and the parameters of responsibility and therefore liability have become even less clear. Increasingly responsibility is placed on those in supervisory positions to ‘insure’ the integrity of subordinates and others. These obligations themselves create the potential for new forms of civil and administrative liability. All contribute as very real risks to reputation and thus, stability and sustainability. The Symposium brings together in one of the oldest medieval Colleges within the University of Cambridge, ministers, legislators, senior officials, diplomats, judges, regulators, law enforcement, intelligence and security officers, financial intermediaries, bankers, professional advisers, compliance and risk officers and scholars from around the world. Last year the symposium attracted well over 1,600 participants from over 100 countries. The Thirty-first Symposium will focus on the identification and control of real and current threats to the financial system and in particular financial institutions from those who engage in self-dealing, corrupt practices and fraud or who assist and facilitate the crimes of others by laundering criminal property or evade taxation. Such threats, however, are complex and manifest themselves at many different levels. For example, considerable emphasis is placed on the problems that confront those who operate in the financial world, primarily as result of regulatory and enforcement actions designed to address specific criminal issues – such as the disruption of highly profitable crime. Our programme is designed by those working in enforcement, compliance and the financial sector with the deliberate intention of focussing on real and topical issues and providing, at a truly international level, if not always answers – better strategies and greater co-operation. In the result the programme provides a unique opportunity at a very practical level, to share the experiences of over 360 specialist speakers and panellists in the prevention and control of risk to the integrity and stability of the financial system and those who operate within it. The programme is structured to provide a depth and breadth of opportunity - second to none, for those participating in the programme to become aware not only of existing, but also new threats, and how best to address them. Through the numerous plenary and other workshops and in particular the considerable opportunities to meet colleagues socially, there is a degree of interaction and collaboration that could only be encountered in an institution that has the highest world reputation for learning and research. The University of Cambridge collaborating with a host of distinguished institutions throughout the world offers a wholly different experience in addressing these fundamentally important issues. The Cambridge Symposium is not and has never been just a conference. It is organised on a non-profit making basis by some of the world’s most respected academic and research institutions with the active involvement and support of numerous governmental and inter-governmental organisations. It was established over thirty years ago to promote meaningful international co-operation – in the fight against financial crime. Its record is its best testimonial. Successive symposia have made a real contribution – at all levels, to promoting stability, good governance and the disruption and control of serious crime and terror. Those who are concerned to protect and promote the integrity and wellbeing of their national economy, institution or enterprise – or who are concerned to better understand the risks facing business today, cannot afford to miss this very special event
