Conducting a financial crime risk assessment isn’t just best practice—it’s a regulatory requirement for all UK regulated firms. Yet many organisations struggle to get it right. In this practical webinar, we’ll demystify what’s expected, explain how your risk assessment should inform your entire financial crime framework, and share what “good” looks like. Drawing on real-world experience from within regulated firms, insights from the regulator, and lessons from countless audits, we showed you how to simplify the process to make it practical and proportionate, and turn your risk assessment into a valuable, actionable tool.
We concluded the webinar with a 15 minute Q&A, which allowed attendees to submit questions for our speakers.
