Financial crime: expanding regulations and the role of technology

The expanding regulatory perimeter and an increasing awareness within sanction regimes means that regulators and law enforcement agencies are looking at corporate vulnerability to money laundering more than ever before. 

As companies pay big fines for bribery and sanctions busting, corporates can no longer demonstrate poor systems and controls, nor a poor compliance culture. Rather than worry about their liabilities, they need to be honest with themselves and take another look at technology to boost their compliance in the event something goes wrong. What are some new tools companies can use to combat financial crime? What tools do they have already that they are not using, such as their internal customer data? Register to listen to our on-demand webinar which presents, explores, and answers some of the biggest questions surrounding financial crime.

This engaging and thought-provoking session addresses:
  • The expanding regulatory perimeter: more companies are going to have AML obligations
  • Eye-opening assessment of laundering risks for companies
  • Using marketing data to inform "know your customer" (KYC), transaction monitoring
  • Change in approach to financial crime needed, starting with tech
Our experts discussed everything from U.S. government foreign policy, Know Your Customer (KYC), board skillsets, and the use of Blockchain for KYC/AML compliance. Register to get access to our on-demand webinar now!
