About I2FC
This conference seeks to be a locus of an interdisciplinary study on fraud, shadow economies and money laundering. It aims to fight and prevent these phenomena which are of increasing qualitative and quantitative importance in our contemporary society.
Fraud (including corruption), shadow economies (including fiscal fraud and illegal activities) and money laundering affect companies given the damage, unfair competition, by information asymmetry, the destruction of the image. Affect public sectors as it conveys structural imbalances, reducing revenue, the degradation of public services, insecurity and terrorism. Affect the societies as it enhances the anemia in ethical relationships, the weakening of democracy, the degradation of living conditions. Affect citizens for the degradation of building the future. All sectors (from economy to culture, health to sports, the urbanism to the environment, etc..) are contaminated, nationally and internationally. It is imperative to prevent and combat these phenomena.
The challenge of this conference is to contribute to the study, prevention and combat of these phenomena in an integrated manner, taking advantage of the contributions brought by all, regardless of their functions and scientific backgrounds. It is interlacing inputs from lawyers, economists, managers, politicians, criminologists, psychologists, mathematicians, computer experts, anthropologists, sociologists, auditors, forensics and all others who have relevant contributions on these issues or any of its constituent elements. It is crossing experiences of entrepreneurs, academics, politicians, police and other professionals to intervene on the processes of combat and prevention. It is melting experiences from different countries and political and cultural spaces.

Economic crime continues to challenge Europe. The levels of fraud and corruption are well documented in the EU Anti-corruption Report, issued on February 2016. The new forms of commission of economic crime, through new methods and technologies, pose renewed questions and demand improved answers to several disciplines, particularly to the sciences of Law and Economics.
