Fraud and money laundering 101: Interconnected risks and best practices

This webinar aims to enhance participants’ professional awareness of interconnected financial crime risks and the importance of effective risk management.

Overview

A road

Fraud and money laundering are major forms of financial crime that affect organisations across all sectors and jurisdictions. Although they are different in purpose and method, they are often closely connected in practice, with weak controls and poor oversight creating opportunities for both. As financial crime risks continue to evolve, organisations face increasing pressure to strengthen governance, compliance, and internal control frameworks.

For accounting and finance professionals, a sound understanding of these risks is essential to identifying red flags, supporting compliance, and protecting organisations against financial, regulatory, and reputational damage. This webinar aims to enhance participants’ professional awareness of interconnected financial crime risks and the importance of effective risk management.

The webinar will cover the following:

  • Key distinctions between fraud and money laundering
  • Common misconceptions
  • International trends and best practices
  • Practical case studies
