About

We are pleased to welcome you to the 2024 Unravelling Corporate Fraud Conference, sponsored by HFW and the University of Western Australia Law School.

Unravelling Corporate Fraud presents and debates the research findings and recommendations of Professor Bant's Australian Research Council grant project into corporate responsibility. Five panel sessions involving eminent experts in the field will unpick the conditions and laws that have enabled corporations committing commercial fraud to evade effective regulation. These include uncertainty and apathy over the nature and reform of corporate culture, the practical failure of existing attribution models to adapt to the reality of modern corporate actors, and the role of legal counsel. The conference will examine and test Bant's novel model of corporate responsibility entitled 'Systems Intentionality', which aims to provide a principled and practical way forward for common law jurisdictions. The conference will also shed light on how this model can support the new darlings of corporate liability reform, the 'Failure to Prevent' offences. It offers a unique opportunity for all stakeholders, across the corporate and legal fields of practice, to understand the ethical, practical and legal implications of this dynamic research.

In person registrations will be strictly limited and will attract 5 CPD point for full day attendance. Remote participation is welcome, however only WA participants will attract CPD points.
