Lunchtime Webinar - Counter Proliferation Finance and the Risk-Based Approach
Dr Noémi També, Independent financial crime consultant & Associate Fellow at RUSI on how to identify, assess and mitigate proliferation financing risk
The Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2022 which came into force in September 2022 have created a new obligation for regulated entities to identify, assess and mitigate the risk of proliferation financing.
Join us for an insightful webinar on "Counter Proliferation Finance and the Risk-Based Approach". This timely session aims to enlighten members about the intricacies of proliferation finance and how to effectively assess this risk within your organisation. Given the widespread implications of proliferation finance, this webinar will be of high relevance not only to professionals in the financial services sector but also those involved in emerging fields like cryptocurrency firms and payment service providers. Our goal is to equip you with the knowledge to understand, identify, and mitigate the risks associated with proliferation finance, thereby enhancing your organisation's robustness against anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing threats. Don't miss this opportunity to enrich your understanding and strengthen your organisation's defences.
