The thirty-fourth international symposium on economic crime has the most ambitious programme both in terms of objective and content that we have so far attempted. This year we seek, as our overarching objective, to address perhaps the most significant question in any system – simply put, where should the ‘buck stop’ - for committing or facilitating misconduct, that undermines stability, security and development? Who should society, through its various systems whether of law, compliance or public criticism, blame for crimes perpetrated against, through or with our financial and business structures? This is not just an issue of confidence or doing the right thing, but reinforcing integrity without which our systems and markets will suffer. There is also the issue of whether we, in seeking to impose fines and other forms of condemnation on those who have simply ‘permitted’ misconduct to occur, disproportionately penalise and indirectly harm those who we should be protecting. The recent financial crisis, compounded by the increased use of financial sanctions, together with our near obsession with attempting to inhibit money laundering and create financial intelligence, have arguably created unsustainable risks for those who in the ordinary course of their business mind other people’s wealth and for those who advise them.
