With direct experience of the changes to Companies House, it seems there's some cause for optimism (finally) as the net closes on compliance breaches especially where they are due to unlawful and misleading information which might facilitate #fraud #CompaniesHouse @brownejacobson

[Browne Jacobson @brownejacobson]

It was great to hear from Kay Linnell on her experiences with JFSA : evidence which led to convictions, the role of solicitors and insolvency practitioners in the enforcement actions by the #PostOffice & the pace of progress in the schemes to compensate the sub postmasters.

[INSOLEurope @INSOLEurope]

We are honoured to have as our final speaker Kay Linnell, who has been giving an impassioned update on the PO Scandal, involving the false prosecution of sub postmasters.

Fascinating insight into the level of risk due to #AI cloned voice technology by @olibuckley. Understandably banks are believed to now be weaning themselves off voice biometrics to verify customers. #FraudLondon2024.

[INSOLEurope @INSOLEurope]

Fascinating opening session 'AI and Deepfake' in which Oliver Buckley demonstrated how to convincingly clone somebody’s voice with only a few seconds sample of their voice!
