In this special hour-long episode, I’m joined by someone who’s not only my yoga teacher, but also a former City lawyer with first-hand experience of financial crime and its consequences. Claire pulls back the curtain on the world of AML (Anti-Money Laundering), compliance, and regulation — and trust me, it's anything but dry.
We explore:
- Why AML checks actually matter beyond the tick-box
- What it’s really like inside the FCA when major fines are handed down
- The most shocking case of financial crime Claire ever encountered
- How to genuinely "know your client" – and why it could make all the difference
- The evolving tactics used to target clients today
- And yes… we share a few laughs along the way!
This is a must-listen episode that will shift how you view AML – and might even make it (dare we say it?) interesting.
