The role of a Money Laundering Reporting Officer is increasingly important - and challenging - in the face of multiple growing threats from global financial crime. This is an opportunity for MLROs, Deputies, or those who would like to become MLROs, to share knowledge and experiences about the challenges they face. Three speakers will set the scene, talking about the importance of knowing your firm, knowing your clients, and building a firm-wide AML culture. This will be followed by a Q&A session, an opportunity for a frank discussion about working in the frontline of anti-money laundering in a Scottish legal firm in 2025.
