4th OffshoreAlert
Due Diligence Conference

November 14-15, 2005 in Miami Beach, FL USA

OffshoreAlert's 4th Due Diligence Conference brings you a comprehensive approach to all aspects of international research, investigations, compliance, and risk management, particularly as they relate to the detection and prevention of serious financial crime, including:

• Investment Fraud
• Insider Trading & Market Manipulation
• Organized Crime
• Money Laundering
• Corruption & Bribery

This year’s Conference continues to make due diligence understandable, and practical, for every Conference participant.

You will walk away with the know-how to make due diligence your everyday protocol—and the security that comes with that discipline.

Through our COMPLIANCE Track, attendees in the financial services industry will gain practical, understandable compliance tactics to limit their liability under banking and general legislation.

Here's our working definition of due diligence:

a: the care that a prudent person might be expected to exercise in the examination and evaluation of risks affecting a business transaction. b: the process of investigation carried on usually by a disinterested third party (as an accounting or law firm) on behalf of a party contemplating a business transaction (as a corporate acquisition or merger, loan of finances, or esp. purchase of securities) for the purpose of providing information with which to evaluate the advantages and risks involved. c: the defense (as to a lawsuit) that due diligence was conducted.

Now you know the core of 'the what' behind due diligence. Good! But the key to effective due diligence is 'the how'-how you develop and execute an effective plan of due diligence.

And that 'how' leads to 'the why' of the Conference: The purpose of our event is to show attendees, particularly those in the international financial services industry, how to protect themselves by conducting prudent due diligence on existing and prospective clients and business partners.

As a conference participant, you will discover how to establish and implement procedures to reduce your risk of becoming a victim. We will demonstrate and critically discuss technology and techniques available to you.

That means you leave with the know-how to make due diligence your everyday protocol.

Arm yourself with fraud-busting intelligence and initiatives. Join us in Miami Beach!

Would you like those financials sautéed or poached?

Due diligence means you never have to settle for cooked books.

Due diligence is a bargain compared to the risk you take without it. In fact, most of the financial crimes exposed by OffshoreAlert over many years could have been avoided by victims if they had carried out (or commissioned) proper due diligence.

At OffshoreAlert's 4th Due Diligence Conference you'll learn the latest real-life, real-time strategies to protect yourself against investment fraud, insider trading and market manipulation, organized crime, money laundering and corruption and bribery.

We will also continue to use our conference as a forum to expose fraud and negligence in the bank compliance and due diligence industries.

2005 is a critical year for this discussion. Remember the November 16, 2004 recommendation by the U. S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation that financial institutions conduct "proper due diligence" before choosing products to help them comply with the USA PATRIOT Act, The Bank Secrecy Act and other Anti-Money Laundering legislation.[See http://www.fdic.gov/news/news/financial/2004/fil12104.html]?

You conduct or regulate business transactions. You belong at this year's Conference.

You're ready for the Conference if you're among the business community that includes:

OffshoreAlert is a world leader in the production and distribution of credible due diligence information, and the host of the 4th Due Diligence Conference.

Since being launched in February, 1997, OffshoreAlert's relentless pursuit of white-collar criminals has established it as one of the world's leading financial investigative newsletters, a must-read for law enforcement officers, regulators, private investigators, bankers, investors and anyone else conducting international business.

So successful is it at detecting and exposing financial crime that, in four months from November, 2003 to February, 2004 alone, 11 officers from three fraudulent business groups which had all brought failed libel actions against OffshoreAlert's publisher were convicted, indicted, or arrested for money laundering and/or fraud in the United States and the United Kingdom. Collectively, they are believed to have defrauded more than $600 million from over 5,000 individuals living in dozens of countries.

The newsletter is published in Miami, Florida by KYC News, Inc., a leading news content provider covering offshore financial centers and the residents of major countries who do business offshore. Its aggressive and straightforward pursuit of truth has made it an internationally-known and respected source for due diligence information and KYC research, exposing countless securities and investment frauds while they are in progress and those who launder the proceeds of such schemes.

You'll walk away with a deeper understanding of due diligence-and solid tactics to put it into place-from the 4th OffshoreAlert Due Diligence Conference.
