  Welcome &Introduction

David Pelled
CEO, MLROs.com

Forum news & updates – we will be updating you with the latest news for the forum and making some exciting announcement of some forthcoming enhancements.

17:30 – 18:00

David Brain
Head of Assurance, Bovill

 

David will look at the topic of Consent from the two different angles. As someone who worked on the Consent Desk for NCIS/SOCA David dealt with hundreds of consent requests every week liaising directly with MLROs. David then became an MLRO and gained first-hand experience of what it was like to put the block on a transaction pending consent from the FIU, in addition to dealing with irate relationship managers.

He will provide insight into how MLROs can make their consent journey as pain free as possible, offering practical tips and dispelling a few myths along the way.

David will also offer his thoughts on consent going forward under the Criminal Finances Bill and what MLROs should be considering in light of this new law.

 

18:00 – 18:30

Mark Townsley
Detective Sergeant of the Economic Crime Unit, Thames Valley Police

 

As a detective Sergeant with day to day oversight of the SAR’s processing team at Thames Valley Police; Mark is in a unique position to give us a hands on real world view of exactly how SAR’s are processed.

He will give us insight on exactly what he sees crossing his desk; what is being done right, what is not so good and what can be done to improve how you submit a SAR to ensure it is not rejected, and processed quickly and effectively.

He will also be dealing with the upcoming changes to the regime from a real-world processing viewpoint

You will also have an opportunity to put different scenarios you have personally been involved in to Mark. Getting his view on what would have improved the outcome, as well as learning a little more about how small changes to your own submissions may have a significant effect on the outcome of criminal investigations.

18:30 – 19:00

Question & Answer Session

Our speakers will be available for the usual lively question and answer session dealing with the issues raised by the event’s discussions and anything else the audience can think of!

19:00 – 20:00

Evening Reception & Networking

There will be a range of drinks (alcoholic and soft drinks) with some nibbles provided and an opportunity to mingle with the other delegates and speakers; so that you can network and exchange ideas, ask questions and expand your professional network, kindly hosted by Bovill.
