2020 has been an especially challenging year for us all as the
Covid-19 pandemic launched us into different working practices, with criminals taking the opportunity to take advantage of new financial crime typologies. As economies are rebuilt a new normal is being established requiring improved understanding of this environment.
In 2021 we celebrate the 20th Anniversary, recognising the significant contribution that’s been made since the Institute’s inception in 2001, to keep its members informed in the ongoing fight against financial crime.
The 2021 conference draws professionals from all parts of the regulated sector to keep up to date with the next generation of financial crime. It is an excellent opportunity to network with delegates from financial services firms, lawyers, accountants, gambling / gaming organisations, money service businesses, high value goods dealers and more.
The Institute continues to work with both the public and private sector representatives including regulators, supervisors, legislators and law enforcement agencies to keep members up to date with the evolving trends and issues. The 2021 Conference provides another superb opportunity to hear first-hand from relevant speakers on current themes, whilst networking with a diverse range of colleagues from the financial crime prevention community.
