Engagement Letters and AML – webinars on the risks to your insurance cover

In partnership with Lockton, we recently ran a pair of free webinars on risks to your insurance cover:

  Learn why robust engagement letters and terms of business are essential to your firm’s success, and how common pitfalls can lead to costly outcomes.
• AML: Practical issues that can present risk to your insurance cover – available on demand
  This session delved into the practical problems we come across when practitioners try to apply the regulations in their firms. We unpicked several of the common problems we see with AML issues and suggested practical solutions that might work for you.

Both sessions were presented by Karen Eckstein of Karen Eckstein Ltd.
