MASTER: The Role of Money Laundering Officer

This workshop explores the responsibilities of an SMF16 & 17 – exactly what the regulator expects from you, and how you can effectively manage your firm. We will talk over the key processes you need to be aware of, and any pitfalls to avoid!

This session will be delivered in our usual style, interactive with small delegate numbers to ensure that you get the most out of the sessions. Sharing best practices and learning how other firms approach situations is the name of the game for this style of event.
