Driscoll said: “The war in Ukraine and subsequent newly imposed-Russian sanctions, has added further responsibilities to the existing CDD processes.  

“The aim of this webinar is to provide a no-nonsense guide for attendees; to get to the heart of what is required to keep their businesses as safe and secure as possible from being used for money laundering purposes.  

“All this while ensuring they meet HMRC money laundering regulations and are fully compliant at every step of the way.”
