Rachel Reeves,the newly-appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer, has sent her best wishes for ‘International Anti-Financial Crime Summit 2024’ in London next week.
The Chancellor today (Friday) said she “sends her best wishes for the event” ahead of the Summit on October 9.
Ms Reeves is spearheading the UK’s response to financial crime and fraud and is also seeking a more co-ordinated action from law enforcement and public agencies to economic crime. The Chancellor meanwhile is looking for better relations with the EU and the Eurogroup of finance ministers, led by President Paschal Donohoe who spoke earlier this year at ‘European Anti-Financial Crime Summit 2024.’
The IAFCS is rapidly approaching. Although some last-minute tickets are available, the event is expected to be a sell out.
The summit will see 200+ senior C-Suite, decision-maker delegates attend in London’s 10 Union Street convention center.
There, they will meet and hear from leading figures in banks, fintechs, professional services, law enforcement and regulators.
Confirmed speakers include Elisa de Anda, the President of the Financial Action Task Force, who will give the Opening Address at the event.
Prominent UK figures attending include Andrea Bowe, Director at the Specialist Directorate at the Financial Conduct Authority.
Ms Bowe recently revealed how the FCA used artificial intelligence to police Russian sanctions breaches. She also exposed how none of the UK’s 25 legal and accountancy bodies fully meet required standards around fighting money laundering.
U.S. speakers will include the likes of Guy Ficco, the Chief of IRS-Criminal Investigation – one of America’s most powerful federal law enforcement agencies.
Chief Ficco is responsible for overseeing a worldwide staff of 3,200 criminal investigation employees leading the global fight against money laundering.
The entire stellar line-up of speakers are drawn from across the UK, EU, US and Middle East and is available HERE.
