The conference was organized by the Association of chambers of commerce and industry (Assocham). The subjects were : 1.Emerging Financial fraud risk - areas, legislation, policy and governance. 2. Steps taken by regulators and new directives issued to counter the increasing risks. 3. Fraud detection using forensic and other analytics etc. It was quite refreshing to know the new techniques used in detection of frauds. Shri K. C. Chakrabarty, Deputy Governor Reserve Bank of India, the Chief guest, narrated some of the frauds of the 40, enumerated by Kautilya in his Arthsastra in 300 BC. Some pithy sayings, heard during the conference, are given below :
