First Deputy Head of the Anti-Corruption Service for the East Kazakhstan region Ashikov A.A. and employees of the department took part in the forum "Financial Triggers of the XXI century", which is organized by the Department of Economic Investigations in East Kazakhstan region. The event brought together a wide range of participants — akim and first city leaders, deputies of the Maslikhat, representatives of law enforcement and local executive bodies, well-known bloggers and media personalities, athletes, public figures and representatives of youth movements. The central topic of the discussion was modern financial threats and mechanisms to overcome them. During the forum, special attention was paid to countering digital fraud, pyramid schemes and other types of crimes that threaten the financial security of citizens. It was noted that in the context of the rapid growth of digital technologies, the sphere of personal and corporate finance has become more vulnerable than ever before. Purchases, transfers, investments, and online transactions have long been part of everyday life, but the risks have also increased. The participants emphasized that finance is not a "gray field", but the territory of the law. Protecting citizens' rights and ensuring financial security is possible only if legislation is followed and legal literacy of the population is improved. The government is taking systematic measures to combat financial crimes, but the conscious behavior of citizens themselves also plays an important role. The law can only protect those who act within the law themselves. The Forum has become a dialogue platform for an open discussion of the challenges of modern times and the search for effective solutions to protect citizens from modern financial threats. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/anticorruption-vko/press/news/details/1024083?lang=kk
