PROFILE OF TOMMY SEAH
Tommy
Seah CFE, REGENT of ACFE ( Tommy Seah is the Executive Chairman of The
Active Information Group (AI Group), the leading provider of certification in
the area of Certified Digital Forensic Analysis. Mr. Seah founded The AI Group
with its proposed World Headquarter in Washington, D.C. in response to the need
for the bank’s implementation of the BIS requirements for compliance to Risk
Management in Basel II. As a Member of the Board of Regents of the
Association of Certified Fraud Examiners in Texas, USA, a global 35,000-member
professional association whose members are dedicated to fighting and preventing
fraud, Mr. Seah has come across many cases of irregularities and fraudulent
practices in the banking industry’s IT systems procurement and implementation.
However it was in his practice as a Compliance Examiner in Risk Management in
financial institutions whereby he has encountered a very serious threat to the
global financial system in its implementation of Risk Management systems in
Basel II and AML. With his
career being dedicated to developing anti-fraud training and educational
products to help organizations and financial institutions better protect
themselves from the impact of fraud, he saw the need for better methodology in
analyzing Risk Management projects such as IT systems implementation,
procurement and returns in IT investments. He
has a particular interest in preventing and detecting IT implementation fraud in
financial institutions and in public companies and has developed new techniques
in digital analysis to enhance this field. This new technique is presently under
patent rights application and when completed will lead to a revolutionary method
at looking at the net results of the Basel II implementation in the areas of
Risk Management. Not withstanding
his very potent mix of multifarious professional qualifications in auditing,
information technology, international banking and fraud examination, he remains
true to his initial calling as an accountant. Today, he is still a Fellow member
of one of the six recognized RQBs Accountancy bodies in U.K. and throughout the
European Union (EU) and many other international financial centers. What is even
more remarkable is that as at this moment, he is still the only Singaporean that
completed his English accountancy examination with a “double firsts” in
Financial Management and in the overall aggregate finals in a world wide
examination. Notwithstanding his academic brilliance, he has never aspired to be
any form of professor. He would rather be a practitioner. In his own words, he
would rather do it than talk about it. And for his very active involvement in
his practice of Risk Management, he is accorded full individual membership of
the Global Association of Risk Professionals (GARP) and is a circuit speaker on
Risk Management in the Asia Pacific region. He has also presented numerous
papers for IIA and ISACA. The thousands of professional working people
that have been his audience can testify to the fact that he has a very
firm grip on all risk management issues in the banking and financial industry.
For the past 30 years, he has been consulted by many bankers in the Asia/Pacific
region on areas of Credit Risk, Liquidity Risk, Market Risk, Operational Risk
and Trading Book Risk. Mr. Seah is also the appointed agent in ensuring
compliance to Central Bank requirements for Outsourcing for a $25,000,000,000.00
asset management financial institution with interests span in three continents.
