A lot of effort has gone into providing members with everything you have come to expect from MLROs.com in a format that is easily digestible in the new normal!

We have split our normal eight-speaker sessions down into Two sessions per day so that you can attend easily and still get a full day’s work done

But you also have the option to simply book single days to give you more flexibility and let you pick the content that is the most relevant and important to you

  • Great Subject Matter Expert Speakers
  • Content that both informs and gives you real actionable take-home knowledge
  • Opportunities to directly question world-class subject Matter experts and Government speakers

Resistance is Futile: Embracing the link between Money Laundering and Sanctions.

For years, financial crime professionals have divided their teams between different types of financial crime, leading some individuals to become specialists in a single subject matter – money laundering, bribery and corruption, tax evasion and sanctions. A common observable “moat” exists between some MLROs knowledge about ML/TF versus sanctions evasion tactics.  In this session, Sam Sheen will look at a recent case illustrating the importance of MLROs to keep up to date on the latest sanctions typologies and how money laundering and forms of financial crime intersect.

Speaker: Sam Sheen  MLRO, Stripe Technologies Europe Limited (STEL), Head of Financial Crime, EMEA Stripe
