UK’s Failure to Prevent Fraud law may expose firms to unlimited fines and prosecution, says Moody’s compliance risk expert

1 week ago | complianceweek.com | Ruth Prickett

Around 40% of all crime in the U.K. is fraud, making it a huge problem for banks and consumers. U.K. banks lost £1.17 billion to fraud in 2024, while taxpayers lost between £55 billion and £81 billion to fraud and error in the financial year 2023 to 24. “The scale of the problem is massive,” warns Ted Datta, head of industry practice for financial crime compliance at Moody’s.
Crypto firms brace for tighter UK oversight as FCA plots integration with financial markets

1 week ago | complianceweek.com | Neil Hodge

Trying to put rules in place to oversee an industry that has grown largely outside of regulation is not without serious challenges. But the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) latest consultation aims to attract industry views about how some key aspects of crypto trading should be regulated ahead of planned legislation due to come into effect next year. The FCA and the Bank of England have previously been wary of seemingly endorsing an industry that presents a high risk to consumers.
Seven years in, GDPR faces growing challenges from AI and ‘consent or pay’ models

2 weeks ago | complianceweek.com | Neil Hodge

Europe’s pioneering data protection legislation turned seven years old in May, but the compliance and enforcement difficulties that have dogged the rules since they came into force look set to present both companies and data regulators with fresh headaches for some time to come. The EU-wide regulator of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has issued its latest annual report detailing some of the enforcement trends from 2024.
What is AI washing and why companies need to stop exaggerating their AI prowess

2 weeks ago | complianceweek.com | Neil Hodge

The buzz around generative AI has reached fever pitch over the past few years—to such an extent that it’s practically a death knell for any company to say it’s not investing massively in gen AI to transform their business. There’s only one problem: many companies are either being misleading or lying about the extent they are using such technology and what it’s capable of.
Hybrid and remote work are great, but career progression is still in-person

3 weeks ago | complianceweek.com | Ian Sherr

As companies continue to grapple with the debate about forcing employees back into the office, and whether bosses should allow hybrid and remote work options as well, career progression still seems tied to in-person interactions. Speakers at Compliance Week’s Women in Compliance Conference in Austin, Texas, Thursday agreed that they’ve increasingly seen that relationship building across teams and organizations is much harder when done through a camera and screen.
Three ways to de-risk diversity and inclusion-without tossing it out

3 weeks ago | complianceweek.com | Aly McDevitt

Giving something worthwhile a chance isn’t always easy, and convincing others to do it too is sometimes harder – which is why it takes a lot of creativity. A worn book is “well-loved” to someone who cares, and a neglected house is a “fixer-upper” to people with ambition. Now it’s happening to DEI.
Communication and relationships is increasingly critical for compliance teams

Compliance is increasingly in the spotlight as companies are tackling everything from artificial intelligence and other new technologies to risk management and mitigation. But it’s soft skills of communication and relationship building that are becoming the most critical tools for success.
Technology advancements are making export controls more important than ever

3 weeks ago | complianceweek.com | Aaron Nicodemus |Ian Sherr

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has sparked a war with unusual implications: The U.S. has stepped up sanctions and export controls. But companies are increasingly learning that the most seemingly innocuous products can find themselves in “dual use,” as a product for daily life and a product for war. A gyroscope or a more advanced GPS chip might help improve a smartphone’s capabilities, but they can also help to guide a missile.
U.K. reins in crypto firms to combat ‘scandal’ of freewheeling finfluencers

3 weeks ago | complianceweek.com | Ruth Prickett

Up to 25,000 people a year in the U.K. are illegally promoting financial products or offering financial advice on social media, but none have yet appeared in court, according to the first Treasury Select Committee meeting on the subject of so-called “finfluencers.” Regulated financial services firms must comply with strict guidelines when they promote their products on social media and may be put at risk by unauthorised finfluencers.
ESG goes beyond politics: Vendor management, forced labor, sustainability

3 weeks ago | complianceweek.com | Ian Sherr

ESG is no longer in vogue. But its issues still are. Almost none of the nearly 200 attendees at Compliance Week’s Third Party Management summit this week said they’re currently working on ESG when informally surveyed. The show-of-hands results marked a dramatic reversal from even just a couple years ago, surprising even attendees in the room.
