Overview

MLRO Training Day: Stay Ahead of Regulatory Enforcement

With FCA regulatory fines reaching £176 million in 2024 alone, more than triple the previous year, and already exceeding £123 million in 2025, the message is clear: regulators are intensifying their scrutiny of AML systems and controls. Recent enforcement actions against major institutions including Nationwide (£44m), Barclays (£39.3m), Starling Bank (£28.9m), and Monzo (£21m) demonstrate that no firm is immune, whether you’re a traditional bank or a fintech disruptor.

Can your AML function afford to be anything less than fully prepared?

Whether you are a recently appointed MLRO or someone looking for a refresher course, Your MLRO Training Day will equip you with the skills, tools, and knowledge you need to excel at your job and stay one step ahead of your firm’s regulatory obligations.

Why This Training Matters Now

The regulatory landscape has shifted dramatically since 2024 with fintechs dominating AML enforcement lists. Starling Bank’s £28.9 million fine in 2024 and Monzo’s £21 million fine in 2025 represent substantial AML penalties, demonstrating that regulators are now holding digital banks to the same rigorous standards as traditional institutions. Similarly, traditional institutions continue to face penalties for systemic failures. The common thread? Deficiencies in transaction monitoring, customer due diligence gaps, sanctions screening failures, and governance weaknesses.

Analysis of FCA enforcement over the past decade shows that Principle 3 (systems and controls) breaches featured in 20 out of 27 AML-related enforcement actions, with Principle 2 (skill, care and diligence) breached in 5 cases, highlighting persistent industry-wide weaknesses in compliance frameworks.

The cost of non-compliance isn’t just financial; it’s reputational, operational, and career-defining.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
