Bill has raided Compliance On Call’s back catalogue for some of the practical AML issues that they have seen, providing commentary on the main problems and how they were addressed. Bill cannot help including the odd statutory reference, but the main focus will be on how to deal with real-world AML headaches.

We will also be looking at some of the challenges to this approach and outcomes from recent employment tribunals.
