E170: What does the board need to know about AML?

"AML is a board-level topic." – but is this true in practice?

Is this more a provocative challenge than a current statement of fact? Under the EU's incoming AMLR, that may be set to change, but are most boards really ready for that?

Our host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Viveka Strangert, Non-Executive Board Member at Alecta, Fidelio Capital, & Ikano Bank and Chair of Loomis Sverige/Loomis Digital Solutions, as well as Olli Kiuru, Partner at Waselius Attorneys, to ask: What does the board need to know about AML?

The panel discuss: How AML has traditionally been a board-level blindspot, how upcoming regulation might change that, and what a boardroom conversation about AML should actually look like!
