In ACFCS’s Emerging Risks series, we sit down with Thomas Mangine, Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO) for the Bank of Montreal, to explore how Environmental, Social, and Governance risk (ESG) is helping financial institutions examine their levels of risk in a new way. Tom provides his expertise on how ESG emerged, which institutions are implementing it, and how it may evolve over time.

The ACFCS Emerging Risks series features interviews with thought leaders and change-makers who are tackling the latest challenges and most pressing threats across the financial crime spectrum.
