Global Regulatory Trends in Financial Crime Compliance

November 2025 - Join leading experts in examining the evolving landscape of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing regulations across key jurisdictions. The panel, featuring David Howes (Standard Chartered Bank), William Langford (MUFG), and Vesna McCreery (AML RightSource) - emphasize the critical importance of maintaining consistent global compliance approaches, despite increasingly divergent jurisdictional requirements.

Key discussion topics include:

The shift from box-ticking compliance toward effectiveness-based programs

Challenges with measuring actual financial crime prevention versus regulatory adherence

Innovative information-sharing initiatives emerging in Singapore, Hong Kong, and the UK.

These experts also address significant regulatory developments in the EU, US policy changes under the new administration, and Australia's fraud prevention success through expanded public-private partnerships.

Technology trends, particularly AI's transformative potential and limitations, are examined alongside concerns about data quality, bias, and the balance between automation and human judgment. This session is a friendly reminder to all compliance professionals - focus on building solid foundational programs while staying engaged in shaping more effective, risk-based approaches to combating financial crime globally.
