DESCRIPTION:Adam Glen sits in the unique position of being a non-Khmer who
  has been advising the Cambodian government about the development of the c
 ountry's tax system.\n\nFor the past 600 years\, Cambodia has been attempt
 ing to both survive and regain its Sovereignty. For a brief period in the 
 second decade of the 21st century\, Cambodia managed to partially reclaim 
 its Sovereignty through the improvement in tax revenue collection due to t
 he successful application of Tax Law. Being a dual currency economy it has
  not yet achieved Fiscal Sovereignty as it is pegged to the US Dollar but 
 in other aspects Sovereignty was re-established. However\, the lack of dev
 elopment in Administrative Law means that events since 2013 have resulted 
 in Sovereignty migrating from the Constitution to the Executive. \n\nSetti
 ng his presentation in a geo-political and historical context\, Adam will 
 consider the economic\, constitutional  and legal influences that have hel
 ped to shape Cambodia's emerging tax system. \n\nAdam began his working li
 fe as a fraud investigator in Australia\, before moving into the IT sector
  to specialise in corporate governance and regulatory compliance\, working
  in Europe\, Russia and the Middle East. Since 2012 he has been helping va
 rious departments of the Cambodian government\, notably in advising Non-Go
 vernmental Organisations (NGOs) on Tax Law.\n\nIn addition to his UK law d
 egree\, Adam has completed Diplomas in Cambodian Tax Law and Cambodian Com
 pany Law. He lives in Cambodia with his wife\, who is Khmer.
