Annual Anti Money Laundering with Assessment Webinar

PLEASE NOTE: This webinar is fully subscribed. We will be running it again in October 2025.

In this webinar Ian will review the current requirements for anti-financial crime frameworks, reflecting on:

• establishing the financial crime risk appetite, what to consider and how to implement.
• completing business wide risk assessments, what are the key areas to assess and address.
• customer risk assessments, the drivers and inputs.
• customer due diligence, what are the expectations including ongoing monitoring.

Using his regulatory experience, he will highlight the areas of supervisory focus in the above key areas. We will also look at the risk to explore and mitigate when utilising solutions from 3^rd party vendors and will then go through the key areas of focus within the current consultations across the EU.  These consultations providing further clarity on the EU’s AML Regulations with particular attention on the conducting of customer due diligence.

Ian will share case studies to highlight the areas where firms have failed to implement their financial crime risk management frameworks, with key takeaways.

What to expect

• Current requirements retrospect, does your financial crime risk management framework meet them?
• Review of the potential impact of EU consultations on current practices,
• Areas of focus when reviewing existing financial crime risk management frameworks,
• Case studies to build scenario testing of existing financial crime risk management frameworks.
