Working collaboratively to combat Elder Financial Abuse:
Where Public Sector meets the Private Sector
Our guest speaker Paul has a very unique skill set, with a long-demonstrated history of working in the law enforcement arena. He is a former police detective and qualified Forensic Accountant. He is a Subject Matter Expert (SME) in terms of a broad base of financial crime matters. As a practitioner, with hands on experience, he is happy investigating the most complex of international Money Laundering matters, but as content to seek justice for the victim of elder fraud, who may have lost their life savings to an unscrupulous family member.
Paul provides a support service for vulnerable clients of financial abuse of all ages and has acted as an expert witness to support litigation, criminal prosecution and Court of Protection matters.

About The Webinar
I first gave this presentation to a workshop at the annual conference for the Charity Action on Elder Abuse several years ago now. As the title suggests, the presentation:
-
Demonstrates the ability for the private sector to support law enforcement by providing expert support.
-
The case study that I will be referring to was a live case and involved 26 victims who were residing in supported accommodation and had been financially abused by their former land lady.
-
The new care agency unearthed some of the abuse when they took the business over. I worked alongside the Money Carer Foundation, the local police and social care.
-
My investigation identified prima facie evidence of circa £2.5m worth of fraud. An in-depth investigation report with guidance was passed to the police and social care in order to inform their safeguarding and criminal investigations.
