Speakers:
Zenda Talamini - Intelligence Officer, Solicitors Regulation Authority
Zenda is an Intelligence Officer and works within the Intelligence Unit of the Solicitors Regulation Authority (‘SRA’) and has been in this role since 2008.
She joined the organisation in March 1993 when it was then known as the Solicitors Complaints Bureau.
Zenda has a wealth of experience having worked for the organisation for over 30 years and she enjoys the variety the role brings and the fact that every day is different.
Zenda’s role within the Intelligence Unit is to receive, develop and disseminate intelligence both internally and externally, in support of the SRA's regulatory role and objectives.
The Intelligence Unit is a small team, but it plays a vital role in receiving intelligence from a wide range of sources and is always looking to develop new intelligence contacts.
Jody Newman - Head of Compliance and Professional Standards, Institute of Accountants and Bookkeepers (IAB) Group
Jody has led the Compliance and Professional Standards at the IAB for the past 5 years, representing the organisation in its role as one of the UK’s accountancy sector Professional Body AML Supervisors. Through this he has been involved in the development and delivery of a range of cross sector strategies aimed at reducing money laundering, fraud and wider economic crime – most recently the NECC led professional enabler strategy.
Since chairing the accountancy sector Intelligence Sharing Expert Working Group (ISEWG) in 2022, Jody has continued to promote the potential of information sharing and collaboration between law enforcement and Professional Body Supervisors. Prior to joining the regulatory space, Jody worked as a police Detective covering financial crime and safeguarding. Through this he gained first-hand experience of the operational side of law enforcement investigations, as well as seeing the value of intelligence sharing and potential of partnership working with external agencies.
David Holland - Chief Inspector at Insolvency Practitioners Association (IPA)
David is the Chief Inspector at the IPA, overseeing the governance and risk functions of the IPA to ensure the compliance with the Regulatory Objectives. He leads the IPA's inspection team, including the Volume Provider Regulation Scheme, which monitors the largest IVA and PTD providers representing 70% of the market. Additionally, he is the IPA’s MLRO and a professional member with the ICA and leads the IPA’s Supervisory responsibilities for Anti-Money laundering. David is a qualified Insolvency Practitioner, with 12 years of experience at the IPA and his previous roles were at Grant Thornton and KPMG.
