ACERCA DE ESTE EPISODIO
With the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) preparing toassess the UK again, Lindsey and Rachel examine whether the recent flurry of announcements and reforms amount to meaningful progress or political window-dressing. They explore persistent weaknesses in financial intelligence, beneficial ownership transparency, professional supervision, payment firms, MLRO oversight and whistleblower protection, and taking a look at whether regulators are doing enough to identify illicit finance and hold its enablers to account.
