Delegates will learn more about the role and responsibilities for senior financial crime managers, learn about the latest financial crime trends and typologies, conduct a review of the latest international regulatory and legislative changes, and review the latest developments to mitigate offences that include money laundering, tax evasion, bribery and corruption and sanctions evasion.?

The course includes a session conducting a detailed review of regulatory requirements, including details of the very latest from the FCA on the regulatory expectations under the Senior Manager Regime, which will provide delegates with a detailed understanding of how these laws and regulations apply to operational activity and the role and responsibilities of the MLRO and Nominated Officer.
