Why you must attend?
AML non-compliance carries severe consequences for regulated firms. FCA enforcement actions, UK Money Laundering Regulations 2017 penalties, and reputational damage from financial crime failures can be existential for organisations across banking, fintech, insurance, real estate, gaming, and professional services. For MLROs, compliance directors, and senior executives, staying ahead of evolving AML, CFT, and CPF obligations is not optional, it is a regulatory and business imperative.
The AML compliance landscape in the United Kingdom and internationally has never been more demanding. FCA supervisory expectations are increasing significantly. The EU 6th AML Directive has raised the bar for cross-border compliance obligations. FATF has strengthened requirements for digital assets, virtual asset service providers, and cryptocurrency compliance under the Travel Rule. Sanctions regimes under OFAC, UK OFSI, and the EU are expanding rapidly making sanctions screening a critical priority for every regulated firm operating in or connected to the London market.
Shasat’s two-day AML Compliance Workshop in London addresses these challenges directly and practically. Participants gain in-depth knowledge of FCA requirements, UK MLR 2017, EU 6AMLD, and FATF recommendations alongside hands-on application of customer due diligence, enhanced due diligence, beneficial ownership verification, transaction monitoring, and UKFIU suspicious activity reporting. Real-life case studies drawn from major financial crime enforcement actions including the Paradise Papers and UBS scandal provide practical context for strengthening internal controls and avoiding common compliance failures.
Delivered by experienced AML practitioners with direct advisory experience across FCA-regulated banks, insurers, payment institutions, and professional services firms, every session combines regulatory rigour with practical insight drawn from real-world compliance engagements. Participants leave with the technical knowledge, regulatory frameworks, and practical tools needed to strengthen their organisation’s AML controls, respond confidently to regulatory scrutiny, and build a genuine compliance-first culture across their teams.
