Webinar: 'Pro-active financial investigation in tackling waste crime'
23 May 2017
The LIFE SMART Waste project will be delivering a webinar on 'Pro-active financial Investigation in tackling waste crime' on 12 June 2017 as part of the DOTCOM Waste webinar series. [***Please note that this is a revised date for the webinar***]
In this webinar, George Hope (SEPA) will consider how environmental authorities or regulators could go beyond their usual remit to apply a proactive approach to financial investigation. The webinar describes a pilot tool developed by the LIFE SMART Waste project that assesses a range of financial indicators for regulated sites - including sources of finance, levels of gearing, variances in costs and income, etc. - and how regulators could use this insight to identify potential or likely future offending.
The webinar is one of a series of webinars presented by experts from around the world on behalf of the DOTCOM Waste project during May 2017 covering the following topics:
- Using Remote Sensing Technologies When Fighting Illegal Waste Crime
- Intelligence in Fighting Waste Crime: Use of Open and Closed Sources
- Pro-active Financial Investigation in Tackling Waste Crime
- Collaboration on Illegal Waste Crime: National and International Joint Investigations
The DOTCOM Waste webinar series is designed to provide up-to-date information and training best practices to help those involved directly in the fight against waste crime
