Financial Crime and Sanctions Governance: Cross-Border Director Responsibilities
Description
This session clarifies directors’ duties in overseeing financial crime, AML/CFT and sanctions compliance frameworks across international financial centres. It highlights global regulatory expectations, divergent jurisdictional requirements and the personal liabilities associated with weak oversight. Directors will explore practical governance measures, reporting structures and escalation processes to ensure organisations maintain strong controls and respond appropriately to high-risk clients, suspicious activity and rapidly evolving sanctions regimes.
This webinar provides one-hour of CPD and forms part of the Advanced Certificate in Directorship Programme, delivered by Chris Usher.
