An Insider's Look at Financial Crime: Former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, and "Madoff' Author Diana B. Henriques, Headline NICE Actimize's 2017 ENGAGE Client Forum
NICE Actimize, a NICE (Nasdaq:NICE) business, will kick off its
annual ENGAGE Client Forum with a stellar roster of "insider"
speakers who will analyze how firms can protect themselves against fraud
and corruption, followed by discussions with technology experts who will
address the era of transformation within financial crime management
which is merging automation-focused technologies. The NICE Actimize
ENGAGE Client Forum, an invitation-only event for financial services
organizations, takes place in New York City on November 7 and 8.
Offering a behind the scenes look at the newest technologies in
automation, advanced analytics, machine learning, and artificial
intelligence as well as the critical business issues surrounding
financial crime, ENGAGE Client Forum opens with a keynote speech by
Preet Bharara, the former United States Attorney for the Southern
District of New York who was recently signed by CNN as a senior legal
analyst. The event closes with a "fireside chat" featuring Diana B.
Henriques, New York Times contributor and author of the best
seller, "The Wizard of Lies: Bernie Madoff and the Death of Trust."
Joe Friscia, President, NICE Actimize "At this year's ENGAGE
Client Forum, we will partner closely with our financial services
organizations and other customers to address our transformation to an
era of autonomous financial crime management, one that utilizes tools
like Robotic Process Automation, machine learning and advanced analytics
to power the platform that is transforming the fight against financial
crime. Our ENGAGE Client Forum will also demonstrate how these
technologies save time, money and enable our customers to fight the good
fight."
Preet
Bharara, nominated to the U.S. Attorney's position by
President Barack Obama, earned a reputation as one of "the nation's most
aggressive and outspoken prosecutors," according to The New York
Times. Bharara supervised more than 200 US Attorneys and oversaw the
investigation and litigation of all criminal and civil cases brought on
behalf of the United States in the Southern District of New York.
Ushering one of the most productive periods in New York history, his
office handled a high volume of cases involving terrorism, narcotics and
arms trafficking, financial and healthcare fraud, cybercrime, public
corruption, gang violence, organized crime, and civil rights violations.
Diana
B. Henriques, also the author of "A First-Class
Catastrophe: The Road to Black Monday, the Worst Day in Wall Street
History", was a member of The New York Times team that was
a Pulitzer finalist for its coverage of the 2008 financial crisis. A
contributing writer for The New York Times, which she joined in
1989, she was previously a staff writer for Barron's magazine, a Wall
Street correspondent for The Philadelphia Inquirer, and an investigative
reporter for The Trenton (N.J.) Times. In May 2017, HBO released its
film-length adaptation of The Wizard of Lies, starring Robert De
Niro as Madoff, with Henriques playing herself. The film was nominated
for four Emmy awards, including "best picture."
