Nutrition to Support Women’s Health

Over recent years governments around the world, including the UK, have been forced to act against those attempting to misuse our financial systems. 

On the 1st of March this year, the introduction of the new ‘Economic Crime (Transparency and Enforcement) Bill’ is the first step in the government’s plan to improve transparency of ownership of companies and property to dissuade criminals from investing their money in the UK.

To add to this, on 28 February 2022, the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) published a consultation on strengthening the UK’s framework for companies - ‘Corporate Transparency and Register Reform White paper’.

Financial Crime experts Jane Jee (who is also a RegTech Women Board Member) and Sara George, Partner at Sidley Austin join us to offer insights into the latest paper.  

What will you learn from this webinar?

• What the new Bill covers and the rationale for its provisions.
• What we can hope will change as a result of the white paper and when.

There will be plenty of time for questions, so register now to save your seat!

The Economic Crime Bill – what will it change?

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) compliance has become an increasingly complex and challenging regulatory environment for firms to navigate.

The FCA’s recent “Dear CEO” letter stated that numerous applications for authorisation of investment funds with an ESG or sustainability focus are poorly drafted and below expectations. So they have issued a set of guiding principles to improve quality and clarity on authorised ESG and sustainable investment funds.

With the growth of interest in ESG and sustainable investments, this is the regulators attempt to build more trust in this segment and ensure consumers are treated fairly.

ESG considerations have been embedded into financial institutions processes for some time now. So why are firms still getting it wrong? 

And of course, one of the biggest questions of interest to our audience, how can technology support ESG compliance?

Join us on 16 September at 11:00am BST where we welcome industry experts to discuss:

•	the key regulatory requirements and developments in this space
•	the challenges for regulated firms
•	how technology can help firms solve the challenges
•	what we might expect to see from the regulators in the future

RegTech Revealed: Episode 20

​The global pandemic has fundamentally transformed – and continues to transform – the way we conduct business in the financial services industry. And this transformation has been very evident in the world of compliance, a traditionally paper-led and manual process driven environment.

Regulations are not easy to understand. So how can we make compliance more understandable… more ‘human’?

In our latest webinar RegTech Women Co-founder Lucy Heavens talks to Victoria Martin, Head of Compliance and Regulatory Affairs at 10x Banking about:

 - Bank vs FinTech – different styles and approaches to compliance
 - How to make compliance understandable and how RegTech can support
 - The do’s and don’ts in maintaining compliance

Female-founded FinTech’s accounted for 17% of the UK’s total FinTech venture capital (VC) investments throughout 2020. Although this figure is up 6% from 2019, it still shows a need for improvement.

Outside of FinTech, just 17% of business founders are female and of pitch-decks reaching VC firms, only 5% are from all-female teams (in comparison to 75% all male). To break it down even further, for every £1 of VC investment in the UK, all-female founder teams get less than 1p! 

Lack of diversity in VC funding is just one of the challenges faced by female founders in the RegTech industry. Women are significantly underrepresented in entrepreneurship; it is said that up to £250 billion of new value could be added to the UK economy if women started and scaled new businesses at the same rate as UK men. Think of what that could do for the RegTech industry!

So how do you succeed as a female entrepreneur in RegTech?

Join us for an open and candid discussion as we chat with two successful female founders to explore what can be done to drive change!
