Who are the people behind the presentations?
This years’ Annual Fraud Conference is being held in a virtual environment. During the event there will be three live sessions brought to you by industry leading experts. But who are they?
Andrew Lane
Cornerstone Barristers
Andy has been at Cornerstone Barristers since 2014 and at the forefront of the Social Housing Bar for many years prior to that. He is regularly instructed by local authorities, private registered providers and the leading private solicitors firms in this area on the full range of social housing issues both in respect of litigation and policy/regulatory issues. Additionally, he works in the public law field, whether that be free-standing challenges (such as homelessness appeals or judicial reviews) or as part of existing proceedings (for example, public sector equality duty and s. 11 Children Act 2004 defences to possession claims). His recent appearances in the higher courts include Salix Homes v Mantato [2019] 1 WLR 3609, Powell v Dacorum Borough Council [2019] HLR 21, Adam v City of Westminster [2019] HLR 15, Gullu v LB Hillingdon/Ward v LB Hillingdon [2019] HLR 30 and Hertfordshire County Council v Davies [2020] EWHC 838 (QB).

Mike Neumann
ITS Training
Mike tried his hand at many things before getting caught up in the world of training. Having proved he could be trusted with unit trusts, and that he could calculate the best way to build computers, he assessed that he wasn’t cut out for a career in benefits, glazed over when working in a glass warehouse and the less said about the plastering job the better!
More by luck than judgement, he discovered fraud detection and prevention, and ended up looking at organised fraud, a role that gave him opportunities to work with many government departments and police forces throughout the UK. After a spell on surveillance, he took over the running of a computer unit, becoming a HOLMES system manager and teaching himself to programme. Mike decided investigation was the best job in the world and decided to stay until he discovered training, which is often just as much fun and (normally) far less dangerous.
Now that ITS Training (where Mike is Managing Director, does the psychology training and some of the investigation training) is over eighteen years old (and officially grown up), he feels compelled to find new things to do. Currently that includes the launch of a new eTraining website, making training work using Zoom, and NIOG – the National Investigation Officers’ Group. The biggest thing right now is the Socially Distanced Investigations training that ITS is delivering across the country (well, virtually…)
He’s also fairly busy with executive coaching, corporate relationships and consultancy. In his marginal time (!) he is working on a few new projects around the teaching of NLP and personal change / life coaching and fighting a losing battle with a Zelda addiction…
