After fourteen years of the Conservative party, July’s general election saw a huge swing to Labour – who pledged to provide a different kind of politics.

New UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, recently reached the milestone of 100 days in charge – which means it’s time to look at what has been achieved so far.

Our expert host, Robin Lycka, is joined by Helena Wood, Director of Public Policy and Strategic Engagement at Cifas to ask: What impact has the new UK Government had on financial crime and compliance? 

The pair discuss: the significant changes under Keir Starmer’s time in charge, the biggest challenges of the first 100 days when it comes to compliance, sanctions, and regulation, and what we can expect going forward.
