Financial Crime and Compliance is a rapidly growing field across banking, fintech, public sectors, payments and other regulated industries.
The Four Lines of Defence model explains how organisations manage risk and compliance by clearly defining responsibilities across four levels: the first line is the business teams that manage risks in their day-to-day activities, including customer onboarding, AML, KYC, CDD, and ongoing reviews; the second line provides oversight by supporting and challenging the first line through quality assurance, approving enhanced due diligence, and handling escalations; the third line delivers independent assurance via compliance monitoring, audits, governance reviews, and process improvement; and the fourth line consists of external regulators, such as the FCA and SRA, who set rules and enforce compliance.
