Welcome To Economic Crime Prevention
These are trying times for compliance, risk and legal professionals. Against the backdrop of major military conflict in Europe, and the UK Government’s acknowledgment of economic crime being a “high and constantly evolving” multibillion-pound problem, it is evident that money laundering, sanctions evasion, ransomware attacks and bribery are coming back in ways and forms that have never been predicted.
Building upon Kisaco Research’s evolving success in sanctions, financial crime and regulatory enforcement events, this timely conference will focus on the most critical risk, compliance and legal challenges affecting financial institutions and companies.
