Anti Money Laundering: Leadership in compliance transformation

Leadership in compliance transformation
In three months, AML obligations become real for Australian law firms. Most firms are focused on the mechanics: the policy, the program, the training. But the firms that will come out of this transition ahead are thinking about something else: what this moment says about them to the market.

Clients, no matter their size, want a firm they can trust, especially with risk.
How a firm handles AML, alongside cyber, fraud, identity and governance, tells clients something about how seriously it takes their exposure, not just its own obligations.

AUSTRAC has signalled a measured transition. This is not a moment to fear. It is a moment to lead.

Drawing on insights from UK, NZ and international law firms that have been operating under AML regulation for years, this session brings hard-won practical experience to the Australian context.

We cover:
• what AUSTRAC expects from firm leadership and what that looks like in practice
• how leadership behaviour at every level determines whether AML is important or just inconvenient
• lessons from regulated markets on turning a compliance obligation into a mark of firm quality
• what managing partners and practice leaders can do that no compliance officer ever could

This webinar will be recorded and made available in our On Demand library after the live event.
