Show Notes
MLROs are vital to financial services - a crucial link between companies, the risks they face, and the authorities.
The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority have previously sent a warning to hundreds of companies who had burned through three or more MLROs in just three years. So, what does this tell us about the pressures of this role?
In this episode – originally published in 2024 – Marit Rødevand is joined by Adam Vilaça to discuss: "How do we stop MLRO burnout?"
They discuss: the problems with the MLRO role today, how to stop the ‘revolving door’ situation, and comments from The Laundry community.
