Today’s financial crime landscape is marked by rapid innovation—and increasing risk. This CLE program offers a strategic update for legal and compliance professionals navigating the growing complexity of fraud and money laundering in financial markets.

This CLE course begins with a deep dive into current red flags and fraud patterns affecting firms, including the misuse of generative AI, account-based schemes like ACH fraud, and direct-target scams against investors. We’ll also unpack manipulative behaviors observed in small-cap IPOs and other market vulnerabilities.

With criminals adapting quickly, the conversation shifts to the evolution of anti-money laundering efforts, highlighting recent updates to the AML Compliance Tool and what they mean for frontline defenses. Participants will explore how firms can apply these refreshed resources to real-world scenarios.

Finally, we’ll turn inward to examine insider threats—where risk stems not from external actors, but from employees and trusted insiders with privileged access.

Designed for attorneys charged with protecting financial systems, this course combines regulatory insight with practical tools for identifying and responding to emerging financial crime risks.
