FCA chief executive, Nikhil Rathi sets out the vision for a more joined-up approach to fighting financial crime. Speakers reflect on why collaboration matters and the practical action to strengthen our collective response.

Our conference was attended by stakeholders from regulation, industry, law enforcement, government, technology and professional bodies.

Discussions on the day focused on how we can collectively:

  • Prioritise action across the system.
  • Break down barriers to data sharing.
  • Adapt to a growing, evolving threat.
