MLRO Update Spring 2027 - Latest Developments & Best Practice

Introduction

As we move into 2027, MLROs face an evolving AML landscape, with changes to legislation and regulations, updated guidance and emerging risks to keep on their radar.

MLROs and their deputies need to ensure that policies, procedures, internal controls and risk assessments reflect the latest developments, and that staff receive appropriate training on what has changed.

This is easier said than done when the world of AML moves at such a fast pace. How do you keep up to date with what is happening and translate it into effective practice?

This new live and interactive virtual classroom seminar will bring you up to speed with recent developments and their practical implications. It is essential viewing for MLROs and deputies, compliance officers and anyone wishing to keep abreast of developments in anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing.

Please note, the content may be subject to change to reflect the latest developments and ensure up-to-date information is included.
