Show Notes

Elizabeth Slim joins Sam Sheen and Marie Lundberg for part 2 to chat about the Anti-Money Laundering Act 2020 (AMLA) and how this significant reform will impact areas such as new protections for corporate whistleblowers that now includes MLROs, auditors or even an attorney, along with the upping of the payments made to them. They also consider whether an overseas staff member is protected under the AMLA if they blow the whistle on financial crime in their sister company in the US, an update on Virtual Asset Service Providers, antiquity dealers joining the regulated AML family and new provisions for enforcement actions and penalties.  Look out - bonus claw backs and banning from acting as a director in the future are now in the goody bag of penalties!
