As financial crime threats grow more sophisticated and regulatory expectations continue to evolve, banks are modernizing AML investigations and broader operations with AI, automation and advanced analytics to improve efficiency, strengthen risk management and support better decision-making. But real transformation takes more than new technology. It requires the right balance of innovation and governance, a clear plan for modernizing complex legacy environments, and the talent, operating models and partnerships to make changes stick.
This roundtable will bring together senior risk, compliance and technology leaders for a discussion on how financial institutions are reshaping financial crime operations for the future, and what it takes to build compliance functions that are not just more efficient, but more resilient and defensible as AI plays a growing role.
Take part in an exclusive, closed-door conversation with your fellow senior leaders, conducted under the Chatham House Rule. This private 60-minute session is dedicated to open, honest dialogue about the market’s most pressing challenges and emerging opportunities.
Attend to gain insights on:
- How leading banks are modernizing financial crime operations to improve efficiency and effectiveness
- Approaches to balancing innovation, governance and regulatory expectations as AI takes on a larger role
- The operating models, capabilities and partnerships needed to support long-term transformation
Welcome and participant introductions
Discussion:
- With 89% of banking executives naming security and fraud prevention as their #1 investment priority this year, what should the modern financial crime operating model look like?
- The biggest barriers to transformation and AI adoption today: how are data quality challenges and skill-set concentration risk shaping transformation roadmaps?
- Tackling false positives and alert overload: with 90% of FIs already piloting or using GenAI in security and fraud detection, what separates pilots from production-scale impact?
- Beyond fraud detection: where is AI moving the needle on KYC and AML investigations, alert triage and case management?
- With 67% of leaders struggling to build AI and data expertise, how can AI expand capacity across compliance functions? What role should managed services play – including for high-volume AML investigation work?
- Data quality as the primary barrier to AI adoption: what does governance and quality assurance look like for adaptive AI models — and how can FIs maintain standards as new data sources and AI-enabled decisions come online?
- Partnerships as the key to scale and product diversity: what partnerships – including managed services – will be critical to the future of financial crime operations?
