Online Workshop
The FCA has increased its efforts to fight every aspect of financial crime and expects firms to understand where the risks lie and take appropriate steps to combat/react as part of its governance framework.
This pre-recorded workshop covers the real and significant threats and demonstrates how to take a proactive approach, enhancing the policies, processes and procedures firms currently have in place.
It focuses on the day-to-day activity required in regulated firms to ensure that they and their honest customers are protected from any aspects of these crimes.
