To celebrate International Women’s Day and to champion women in the FinCrime space, join our Boardroom Series for an inspirational morning of thought leadership. The morning begins with a special address from the Minister for Justice of Ireland, followed by presentations from leading speakers and panellists from across the EU.

“The fight against financial crime needs women, because it needs diversity. Simply put, teams with diverse talents, have the ability to challenge themselves, and the matters that they investigate and probe, better.” – Federica Taccogna, Senior Managing Director (Partner), Financial Services, FTI Consulting.
