Financial Crime Watch: October 2024
07 October 2024
Welcome to Financial Crime Watch, our review of developments in financial crime, regulation and relevant cases, brought to you by Browne Jacobson’s compliance and regulatory experts.
In each issue, we feature publications and announcements relating to fraud, bribery, sanctions and money laundering, as well as regulatory compliance. We look at the implications for our clients inside the financial services sector and beyond.
In this edition, we look at:
- Starling: paying the price for failures in financial crime systems and controls
- What recent FCA speeches are telling us about the approach to compliance and the proposals to “name and shame”
- The new Trade, Aircraft, and Shipping Sanctions (Civil Enforcement) Regulations 2024
- Forced labour goods – a landmark decision that could have a huge impact on supply chains
- Home Office’s Preliminary Findings and Direction of Travel in relation to the disclosure process: what could it mean for fraud cases
- Recent FRC enforcement against MacIntyre Hudson LLP and two former employees
We hope you find our publication interesting and useful. To discuss how we can help in any way, please contact a member of the team as below.
