AML & Financial Crime in 2027 - Key Changes, Emerging Risks & Enforcement Trends

Introduction

The AML and financial crime landscape continues to evolve at pace. Legislative reform, changing regulatory expectations, emerging criminal methodologies and enforcement action all have significant implications for regulated businesses and their advisers.

This focused virtual classroom seminar will bring you up to date with the developments that matter and explain their practical impact. It will examine recent and forthcoming changes, the priorities of government and supervisory authorities, developing financial crime risks and the lessons that can be drawn from significant cases and regulatory action.

Expert speaker Laurence Howland will identify the key issues that should be on your organisation’s agenda and highlight where policies, risk assessments, controls or working practices may need to be reviewed.

Designed for those with an existing understanding of AML compliance, this session provides an efficient way to keep your knowledge current and prepare for the challenges ahead. It is ideal for MLROs, MLCOs, compliance professionals, finance directors, legal advisers and others with responsibility for managing financial crime risk within an AML-regulated business.
