Introduction

Acknowledged by senior offshore practitioners as the essential event for many MLROs, MLCOs, Compliance Officers, Senior Managers and Directors. The symposium offers a valuable opportunity to reflect upon the challenges faced by industry, whilst also equipping participants with enhanced awareness of the key risks in compliance and the fight against financial crime.

Audiences attended a sell-out event in 2011 with Paul Moore, The HBOS Whistleblower, as the keynote speaker, and this year delegates can expect a fascinating audience with Robert Mazur, the Senior Special Agent who brought down high-ranking members of Colombian drug cartels in the largest money laundering prosecution in US history.

All speakers will talk for 30 minutes followed by an interview with the conference chairman who will also encourage questions from the floor.

We are grateful to Stephen Platt & Associates LLP, KYC360° and the ICA for their sponsorship of the symposium, and continued support from the JCOA.
