Due diligence, financial and intellectual property investigations expert Lawrence Burke Files is set to visit Zimbabwe at the end of May 2017 to attend three high-level workshops to be hosted by the Internal Control Institute of Zimbabwe (ICIZ).
The first workshop to be held on May 29 will focus on “Securities and Investment Fraud” with emphasis on investment scams and fake companies. The second workshop to be held on May 30, 2017 will focus on “Anti-Money Laundering and Economic Sanctions” zeroing in on risk management and surviving under sanctions. The third workshop to be held on June 1, 2017 will focus on “Certified Due Diligence”.
Mr Files is the founder of the internationally-acclaimed Financial Examinations and Evaluations Inc. He is a widely recognised expert in the areas of financial investigations and due diligence, fraud and asset location and recovery, intellectual property and critical information.
He has authored numerous articles as well as books on the subject. Additionally, he has presented over 20 seminars on financial investigation subjects.
“As ICIZ, we are delighted to host such an internationally-acclaimed expert in financial investigations and due diligence, fraud and asset location and recovery, intellectual property and critical information. The three workshops will draw stakeholders from both the private and public sectors,” said the institute in a statement.
COMMENTS
Me thinks that the ICIZ is a newly made up quasi ZanuPF aberration. In any event, Mr Lawrence Burke Files (probably another figment of ZanuPF imagination) will get a major fright when he gets here, he will then decide after the first day that it is a pointless exercise to come to this country. Why do we need another financial guru from overseas to come here? – Haven’t we got a few of our own who could sort this country’s financial mess out? If the govt doesn’t want to listen to the locals, why would it listen to someone from outside? This is all a lie and is fake news.
Google this guy Lawrence Files and you will see his hobbies are camping and travel – he is just coming here on holiday, but I wonder if they will give him a work permit. He will give some sort of financial speech here so that he can claim his whole safari as a tax free business trip. Also he hasn’t belonged to any well known company or organization at all, and it seems his last job was in 1987. Some ‘guru’ this guy is – more like a con artist.
