AFC, Compliance & AI Leadership Forum

Artificial intelligence is beginning to influence compliance processes, fraud prevention, risk analysis and financial decision-making, creating opportunities for greater efficiency and new ways of approaching risk. But technology alone does not determine whether an approach is effective.

 

As AI becomes more closely embedded in financial crime compliance, organisations must also consider how innovation fits within existing regulatory expectations, how decisions are reviewed and governed, and where human judgement remains essential. The conversation is therefore moving beyond what AI can do towards how it should be applied in environments where accountability matters.

 

We invite you to the AFC, Compliance & AI Leadership Forum, hosted by Citadel365, Vertex Compliance and FinComp Academy, which brings together professionals from across anti-financial crime, compliance, artificial intelligence, fraud prevention, risk and governance for an evening dedicated to these developments and the questions they raise for the industry. 

What to Expect

  • A keynote exploring the strategic importance of anti-financial crime and compliance in today’s financial ecosystem.  
  • Expert perspectives on the growing role of AI and emerging technologies across compliance and financial crime.  
  • A focused discussion on the application of AI in compliance and fraud prevention.  
  • Insights into the relationship between innovation, risk, regulation and governance.  
  • An opportunity to connect with professionals and leaders from across AFC, compliance, risk, fraud and fintech.
