Recent events in the UK have thrown doubt over the scheduled date of the British departure from the EU and how the parties may move forward from hereon. But Brexit is still meant to mean Brexit and companies exposed to the UK must prepare for immediate consequences of various Brexit scenarios and consider long term commitments.

Where in the Brexit process are we now, what are the effects in a short and long term perspective and how should risks and opportunities be addressed? Erik Lagerlöf, a lawyer at Vinge law firm and adjunct professor at the Stockholm School of Economics, will provide the latest updates and analyse what the British exit entails.

The session will be moderated by Rickard Ydrenäs, Ydrenäs Communications.

“Coming together to crack financial crime”

9 April 2019

Richard Grint

Head of Financial Crime, PA Consulting

Financial crime is one of the biggest challenges facing society and economies. Organised crime uses the financial system to move its money secretly and illegally. Criminals use financial services to launder the proceeds of counterfeiting, fraud, human trafficking, bribery and corruption. Financial crime is a global problem and the Nordics are no exception. Up to 80 billion dollars a year is estimated to be laundered by criminals through major Nordic banks. The only way to tackle financial crime is for financial services to better collaborate with the public sector using smarter technology.

Welcome to a breakfast where Richard Grint, PA Consulting’s Head of Financial Crime Consulting, shares the elements that are essential to underpin a new approach for collaboration to turn the tide of financial crime.

Date:  9 April 2019
Time: 7.30-8.45
Breakfast will be served from 7.30 and the presentation begin at 7.45.
Venue: PA Consulting Group, Jakobsbergsgatan 17, 7tr, Stockholm
