    E141: What keeps the regulator up at night?

    For some, we know that the knock on the door from the regulator might be what’s keeping them up at night. But for this episode, let’s flip the perspective.  Think about the regulators: they’re the ones building the rules, fighting complex financial crime risks, keeping up with global sanctions, and dishing out unpopular penalties. That has got to lead to some stressful evenings! Our expert host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Colin Payne, Head of Innovation at the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), to ask: What keeps the regulator up at night? The pair discuss: the biggest challenges around financial crime risks and communication, the solutions that regulators are finding, and the evolving role of AI.
