Crowe to host ‘dark web’ seminar

Johnathan Dudley, Midlands managing partner at Crowe, said: “Cyber crime is an issue which affects every business, no matter how large or small and this event will be extremely useful in providing industry-leading advice on the latest digital threats.

“Our specialists in forensic services have many years of experience helping organisations navigate around the huge challenges of the dark web, cyber crime and business malpractice.

“They will explain the latest threats, what they are and what can be done to mitigate them.”

Keynote speaker Jim Gee, national head of Crowe’s forensic services team, as well as a visiting professor and chair of Europe’s premier research unit in this area at University of Portsmouth, said: “I’m looking forward to sharing some of the latest research from our soon-to-be-launched report, 'The Dark Web: bad for business'.

“No organisation can expect to be immune from fraud and cyber crime, and creating protection is a key tool to minimise the impact.”

The seminar will also introduce Chris Hine, Crowe’s new principal partner working on expert witness assignments within its forensic services team.

Mr Hine has more than 25 years of experience in preparing expert witness reports across many different areas of forensic accountancy, with a particular focus on multinational disputes and the sports sector. At the event Chris will be discussing a number of case studies showcasing previous expert evidence and professional advice.

The free seminar, 'cyber crime and business malpractice’ will take place at Crowe’s offices at Black Country House, Rounds Green Road, from 8.30am to 10am.
