Strengthening AML Controls in Singapore: Lessons from the Billion-Dollar Money Laundering Case - Webinar

Introduction

Singapore’s anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (‘AML/CFT’) regulatory regime has been one of the most robust and evolving frameworks globally.

Designed for banking and financial services lawyers and in-house counsel, this webinar will explore the key regulatory breaches, review recent enhancements to Singapore’s AML framework, and share practical takeaways for those advising financial institutions and navigating this evolving landscape.
