Brought to you by LexisNexis, in this session, attendees will:

• Gain clarity on how UK and EU AML regimes are diverging, and what increased centralisation in the EU versus greater agility in the UK means for compliance programmes today.
• Explore why firms continue to face fines and sanctions, including lessons learned from recent enforcement actions across prominent UK financial institutions.
• Understand the rapidly shifting landscape for crypto asset regulation, from the EU’s MiCA framework to the UK’s post-Brexit AML approach, and how these changes affect risk management in digital asset markets.
• Identify the enforcement mechanisms and regulatory expectations that matter most, and the common pitfalls that expose firms to heightened scrutiny.
• Discuss where compliance leaders should focus next, and how to build adaptable, resilient programmes that keep pace with regulatory reform and emerging financial crime threats.
