Attendees will gain an understanding of what these are in the context of their role and why accountants are so important in the fight against organised crime.
The regulations governing the legal obligations of the accountancy sector are clear and it is vital professionals understand their money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation financing obligations and stay completely up to date.
