  • Financial Crime: a panel discussion on the latest hot topics

  • Overview: The FSA's recently published report on anti-bribery and corruption systems and controls in investment banks has raised a number of issues for financial institutions more generally. Our panel of speakers looks at those issues, focuses on the good and bad practice in this area and gives practical advice on how firms can minimise the risk of regulatory intervention and criminal enforcement.

    Other hot topics in financial crime which the panel will address include developments in anti-money laundering - including recent FSA enforcement action and proposals for reform at EU level; how financial institutions should deal with the US, UK and EU sanctions regimes and FSA expectations in this area and the latest FSA criminal cases for insider dealing.

  • 20:20 vision
    The regulator of the future

  • Overview: Regulators are facing a torrid time. The global financial crisis has not only questioned their effectiveness but has also led to calls for relief from regulatory burdens and costs. Meanwhile, the trend towards a smaller state role in some developed countries means regulators must take on more responsibility for the enlarged private sector. What’s more, even businesses in ‘unregulated’ sectors must increasingly deal with competition, consumer protection, health and safety, and environmental regulators.
