Expert Panel | Managing Regulatory Convergence & Reform Fatigue

| Tim Phillipps Executive Chair Identitii Ltd |
Ritu Bhandari |
Jamie Lynch |
This online panel will examine how organisations are responding to overlapping AML and broader regulatory reforms, and what reform fatigue is really costing compliance functions in practice. It will explore how firms can make smarter decisions about where to focus, align change initiatives across the business, and cut through duplication, without losing sight of accountability and governance. The discussion will also look at what it takes to build compliance frameworks that are genuinely integrated and built to last, not just technically compliant, but embedded in a way that holds up as the regulatory environment continues to evolve.
