Navigating the German Political Landscape: What’s Next?
This conversation delves into the recent collapse of the German government under Chancellor Schultz, the upcoming federal elections, and the potential implications for both German and European politics. Thomas Falk provides insights into the ideological divides within the coalition, the rise of the AFD, and the challenges facing the next government, including compliance issues and the impact of sanctions on Russia. The discussion also touches on the dynamics of potential coalitions and the future of green policies in Germany. Takeaways The collapse of Schultz's government was not entirely unexpected due to ongoing dysfunction. The upcoming elections in February will be crucial for reshaping Germany's political landscape. Friedrich Merz from the CDU is the main competitor for the chancellorship. The AFD is gaining significant support, particularly in eastern Germany. Coalition dynamics will be complex, with limited options for Merz. Compliance issues, especially regarding money laundering and sanctions, will be critical for businesses. The influence of the Greens may diminish in the next government. Germany's political stability is vital for the EU's overall health. The next government may prioritize economic pragmatism over ambitious climate targets. A reset in relations with Russia could be a possibility under a new government.

The Worker Protection Act 2023
The Worker Protection Act 2023 comes into force on 26 October 2024, imposing a new, proactive duty on all employers across the UK to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace. With at least 1 in 5 men and nearly half of all women experiencing sexual harassment at work, this new compliance duty is an important step employers must prepare for. The new “preventative duty” shifts beyond reacting to complaints and requires employers to take steps to prevent harassment from occurring in the first place. Critically, the meaning of reasonable steps will vary from company to company, meaning employers will have to prove they have conducted a thorough risk assessment and understood what proactive steps look like in their business. In this episode, VinciWorks compliance experts will guide you through the process of complying with the Worker Protection Act. From assessing the risk of sexual harassment in the workplace to tracking incidents and customising training, this free, one-hour episode will make sure your office is ready to fight back against sexual harassment. This podcast will cover: The Worker Protection Act 2023 and its obligations on employers What sexual harassment in the workplace is Undertaking harassment risk assessments Using data to identify worrying trends before they come problems The meaning of proactive duty and reasonable steps in your organisation Implementing policies and procedures to prevent harassment Please note the podcast contains video recordings that you are about to listen to that discuss sensitive topics which some listeners may find upsetting.

AI regulation in the UK, EU and rest of the world
The pace of AI regulation is heating up. From the monumental AI Act passed by the EU, countries and states around the world adopting copycat laws, to commitments by the new UK government to better regulate artificial intelligence. Regulators and legislators are racing to ensure they are not left behind by the AI revolution, and can levy ever larger fines on companies who get things wrong. As companies and industries race to ensure they are AI-ready, the cost of a compliance failure is ticking up. With potential fines that could dwarf GDPR, getting it wrong when rolling out AI technology could be devastating. In this episode, VinciWorks compliance experts will discuss critical upcoming AI regulations in the UK. From fines on compliance failure to possible new protections for workers, the UK has fallen behind on AI regulation recently but looks set to catch up quickly. We’ll also consider the implementation of the EU’s AI Act - the blockbuster regulation which has set a new global standard. And we’ll consider new regulations across the world from key US states like California and AI laws in Brazil, China and the Middle East. Key points this podcast will cover: What the UK plans for AI regulation How would the UK enhance protections against AI discrimination How does the EU’s AI Act work? What are the sanctions on businesses under the EU AI Act? What businesses need to know when investing in AI Other AI laws and regulations around the world

GDPR – Six years on
The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has now been in force for six years. During that time, fines have totalled billions of euros, with over €1 billion in fines coming in the past 12 months. The most recent fines show that both large and small businesses are subject to regulators’ scrutiny. With fines and enforcement actions, developments in GDPR case law and new challenges of AI, data protection remains one of the most complex areas of compliance. Despite best efforts, many organisations are still falling short when it comes to getting GDPR right. In this podcast, we examine GDPR’s widespread impact not just in Europe but around the world. As places like Brazil, California, and even China race to enact GDPR-like protections, what does the future hold for data privacy?

Making your organisation more neurodiversity friendly

Making your organisation more neurodiversity friendly
Neurodiversity is becoming more understood as a workplace issue. As many as 1 in 7 people in the UK are neurodivergent, meaning that organisations that fail to meet the needs of their neurodivergent staff and clients are neglecting a significant demographic. Although there are challenges associated with these differences, there are also many strengths. At the same time, failing to make workplaces inclusive of neurodiversity is an increasing risk. Over a hundred cases of neurodiversity discrimination were taken to employment tribunals last year, with almost none the year before. Organisations that fail to put in place the right policies and procedures to support neurodivergent staff are at risk of losing talented staff, as well as the risk of legal action. Making a workplace that is neurodiversity friendly doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. In this episode, we’ll look at what neurodiversity is, strategies to support neurodivergent staff at work, and what policies and procedures organisations should have in place. This one-hour session will cover: - What is neurodiversity and what are different neurodivergent conditions? - The challenges faced by neurodivergent staff at work - Strategies to support and encourage diversity of thought at work - Short workplace scenario clips on how organisations can support neurodivergent people - Supporting neurodivergent staff in the workplace - Creating policies and procedures inclusive of neurodiversity

Getting to grips with proliferation financing one year on
Since 1 April 2023, all firms in the regulated sector have been required to carry out proliferation financing (PF) risk assessments. This applies to all regulated entities, from law firms to financial services, casinos to cryptocurrency. Regulated entities can create a new risk assessment on proliferation financing or incorporate PF risks into existing AML and terrorist financing risk assessments. However, regulators expect firms to take action to understand the risk of PF and how to mitigate it in their business. Failing to do so can result in a breach of the Money Laundering Regulations. One year into this new requirement on the regulated sector, how effective have the new regulations been? What are the key strategies for compliance, and what are the best practice tips for ensuring PF obligations are met? In this episode, we’ll look at the issue of proliferation financing in detail, discuss strategies for compliance, and share best practices for understanding and mitigating PF risks. This one-hour session will cover: - What proliferation financing is and the jurisdictions and industries at risk - The differences and similarities between proliferation financing, money laundering and terrorist financing - Practical examples of how proliferation financing can happen - Proliferation red flags and high risk indicators - Strategies and technologies to counter the risk of proliferation financing - How to undertake a proliferation financing risk assessment

Global sanctions compliance in 2024
The field of economic sanctions has been growing increasingly complicated in recent years, and the past year was a historic and transformative period for the use of financial sanctions on both the global and UK levels, with Western nations launching an unprecedented line of sanctions against Russia as a result of its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Recent conflicts such as the Hamas-Israel war in response to Hamas’s October 7 massacre, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, as well as events in Iran, China and other countries, have grabbed global headlines. These events have sparked waves of new laws and regulations around the world, from sanctions to tougher economic crime compliance rules. All businesses must comply with financial and trade sanctions and companies must be able to prove that they are properly screening for sanctions. Failure to comply with screening requirements can carry stiff penalties reaching into the millions per infraction and any sanctions breach, even accidental, is a crime. This episode will cover: Recent sanctions issues and key compliance challenges and what to be aware of in the present volatile international landscape. The creation of the Office of Trade Sanctions Implementation (OTSI), the UK’s newly created body that will be responsible for the civil enforcement of trade sanctions, including those against Russia. The ever-relevant crossover between sanctions, terrorist financing, and AML, which has become increasingly important as the world faces rapidly evolving geopolitical challenges. The effectiveness of financial sanctions in general and those against Russia in the past two years in particular. Cases of sanctions breaches and consequences.
