In this August's episode of The FinCrime Connection, join hosts Claire Rees (Global Financial Crime Regulatory Specialist) and Phil Roberts (Business Development Manager, UK) as they unpack three landmark publications that are reshaping AML/CTF compliance in the UK:
- The 2025 National Risk Assessment – revealing over £12bn in criminal cash each year, with fintech, crypto, and casinos now higher risk.
- New System Priorities – nine equal-weight areas where firms can focus resources for maximum impact.
