About

FinCrime Focus: Anti-Money Laundering

Regulators and legislators have been requiring banks to detect and prevent money-laundering for many years. But in recent decades, financial institutions have faced unprecedented regulatory pressure to implement robust and effective anti-money laundering (AML) procedures.

AML compliance is a resource-intensive practice and there is substantial risk involved in failing to report suspicious activity.

Financial institutions are therefore seeking more effective and efficient methods to detect and report suspected money laundering.

FinCrime Focus: Anti-Money Laundering is a one-day livestream event looking in-depth at AML in 2022.

The event will bring together industry leaders and AML experts to provide with professionals actionable, up-to-date advice on how to tackle money-laundering in an efficient and compliant way.
