About this course

An agreement in a case in a US state sets up new risks for all regulated businesses. Everywhere.

Until July 2020, it was difficult to do but easy to understand.  Look for money that might arise from criminal conduct or might be on the way to finance terrorism and follow a course of action set down in law and regulation. 

Now it's far, far more complicated. 

The case is about private banking in New York, USA. The lessons in and the effect of the case is for every business regulated for financial crime (e.g. money laundering and terrorist financing) anywhere in the world.

The course includes a critical analysis of the Consent Order and additional background information. It also explains how and why the new risks arise and what those risks are.  

This is a senior level course which means that it is designed for 

- those working in law firms

- managers, compliance and risk officers and directors/ owners of businesses dealing with law firms. 

It will prove valuable to many front line staff for whom lawyers are a part of their day-to-day activity.
