Understanding the UK's Financial Crime Prevention Laws

Introduction

Every UK business — big or small, domestic or multinational — must navigate a maze of financial crime prevention laws.

The rules are intricate, and misconceptions abound. From understanding the scope of these laws to staying compliant, many businesses struggle to keep up—especially as regulations evolve. The recently enacted Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 adds even more to the landscape, including a new ‘failure to prevent fraud’ offence and a revised test for assessing economic crime liability.

Presented by Emma Radmore of Womble Bond Dickinson, this newly updated webinar will cut through the complexity, offering clear insights tailored to UK businesses and providing you with the practical understanding needed to confidently navigate the UK's ever-changing financial crime laws.

Whether you are part of an in-house team in finance or another sector, or a professional adviser looking to protect your business and clients, this webinar is for you.
