In a one-on-one discussion with Martin Schoefield, Director of Financial Crime and Forensics Unit at Complyport and an IGCA Fellow, we will explore the hottest topics in the prevention of financial crime, tackling some of the questions below:
- What are some of the major challenges companies face when having to comply with sudden and massive economic sanctions?
- How can firms undertake searches of sanctioned individuals and companies in an efficient and effective manner?
- For instance, how can companies deal with dual nationalities and a lack of records showing that an individual has in fact two different passports?
- What are some of the major risks for a company if it fails to enforce a sanctions order?
- When it comes to money laundering, nothing changes yet everything changes. What’s hot these days in the world of AML?
- How will the recently proposed EU AML regime change regulatory obligations for firms in the financial services sector?
- What’s the role training and executive education plays in helping firms meet their regulatory obligations and establish a strong culture of compliance?
- And plenty more!
