North West Fraud Forum are continuing their masterclass program with our next online event. We are delighted to welcome speaker Ian Henderson from Advanced Forensics to give us a first-hand account of the Post Office Horizon Scandal.

Between 2012 and 2015, Ian Henderson of Advanced Forensics and Ron Warmington of Second Sight established the causes of mysterious shortfalls in branches of the Post Office, revealing what has been described as the country’s worst-ever miscarriage of justice. Ron and Ian were hired by the Post Office and fired by them when they discovered the truth. They have been dealing with the scandal since its inception and both have given significant evidence to the statutory Inquiry.
