AML, Terrorist Financing & Financial Crime Update - Risks, Obligations & More

Introduction

There is an ever-increasing burden on businesses to address the risk of economic crime.

In addition to the obligations imposed on the regulated sector to address the risk of money laundering and terrorist financing, both regulated and unregulated businesses have statutory responsibilities to address a range of other risks including fraud, bribery, and sanctions legislation.

The growing body of economic crime legislation and substantial penalties imposed for non-compliance makes financial crime risk one that no business can afford to ignore.

This webinar will address the key areas of corporate financial crime risk, what the legislation covers, the main criminal offences and which businesses and activities they apply to.

The webinar will also describe what your company’s mandatory obligations are under UK legislation and how to go about meeting those obligations, making it ideal for compliance and finance staff, MLROs, MLCOs, and finance directors.
