VIE DE L’ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE ATEL/TMI LUXEMBOURG, APRIL 24TH, 2007 « AN EVENING WITH NICK LEESON» Curiosity, intrigue and sympathy have been the various reaction to Nick Leeson’s incredible life story. The collapse of Barings and Nick’s role in it is one of the most spectacular debacles in modern financial history. Nick talked frankly about what happened with Barings, the lack of accounting safeguards, his capture and confinement for 9 months in a Frankfurt prison and being sentenced to 6 years by the Singapore court for forgery and cheating. This professional descent to hell brought Nick Leeson’s family and health down with him. Delegates had a unique opportunity to meet and question the main participant in arguably the largest banking scandal that the world has witnessed. The story has a number of human interest aspects that will astound you and as a member of the financial community force you to question “Could Barings happen again ?” Mr. Nick Leeson Will the implementation and proposed implementation of new banking regulatory procedures designed since the collapse of Barings : Sarbanes Oxley, IFRS and Basel II present another similar incident or can nothing prevent a determined “rogue trader” ? Everybody hopes it will. Mr. Nick Leeson with the sponsors and organisators of the evening : Mr. François Masquelier (ATEL), Mr. Imad Ben Mariem (Datalog), Mr. Laurent Denayer (PRMIA) and Mr. Robin Page (TMI) Le Magazine du Trésorier - N° 58
