[On-demand version] Financial Crime Risks post COVID-19: how well are you prepared? 

According to Europol, the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may be particularly significant in the area of organized crime, including money laundering and corruption. As the world adjusts to a ‘new normal’, organized criminal groups have been exploiting the current environment of fear and anxiety to enact new fraud schemes. At the same time, COVID-19 is limiting financial institutions and governments from meeting their AML/CFT obligations.

As remote interactions are becoming the new normal and is bringing in behavioural changes in how people interact every day, it is time to innovate with the help of trusted, independent data and insights delivery via APIs. API technology is revolutionizing how financial institutions and other organizations are operating by providing them with easy access to relevant intelligence data and helping to fight financial crime. 

Join Refinitiv and other risk experts in this webinar focused on gaining insights into the actions financial institutions need to take or are currently taking to address COVID-19 financial crime risks.

Topics for discussion:
  • New and emerging risk issues for financial crime linked to the COVID-19 pandemic 
  • How regulators are responding to new threats and COVID-19 related fraud
  • The importance of cross-border and domestic information sharing and public/private sector cooperation to combat illicit financial flows
