The future of financial crime under the new Labour government

Join Lord Peter Hain, Labour peer and former government minister, and Sam Tate, Head of White Collar Crime and Compliance at RPC, as they discuss the practical implications of the future of financial crime prevention and enforcement under the new Labour government.

With so much to do, there are many unanswered questions about the future of financial crime. Join our event as we consider:

• what are the real priorities and challenges?
• how can business work successfully in public/private partnership to prevent financial crime?
• what legislation and regulation might we see concerning regulated and unregulated business?
• how can the government help defeat the financial criminals using AI and working across borders?
