Singapore is hosting ACAMS’ 11th Annual AML & Financial Crime Conference for the APAC region once again. The two-day conference from April 8-9, 2019 at Sands Expo and Convention Centre Marina Bay Sands will primarily focus on the topic: ‘Mitigating Financial Crime Risks in Today’s Digital Landscape’ as the organizers look to adapt to the changing AML and financial crime scene. The event will bring together compliance professionals, regulators and senior executives from across the APAC region. It will also enrich the audience with thought-provoking panel discussions and powerful speeches from renowned people, imparting vital knowledge to take on the challenges of detecting and preventing financial crime, along with various collaboration and networking opportunities.
The AML conference comes at a time when the global regulatory compliance space goes through a crucial phase. Compliance lapses and the consequent prosecutions and penalties across the globe seem never-ending. The governance and oversight issues around the Danske Bank scandal and the ABLV Bank of Latvia case throw light on the need for rigorous oversight of correspondent banking and geopolitical risks. In addition to digital disruption and complex and frequent regulatory changes, institutional and personal liability consequences of negligent AML oversight are making AML compliance a tough task for banks and financial institutions. Modern technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning can undoubtedly ease this pain in a significant manner. A growing number of financial regulators have accepted this fact and are encouraging the use of these innovative approaches to address financial crimes. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) had advocated banks “to consider, evaluate, and, where appropriate, responsibly implement innovative approaches to meet their Bank Secrecy Act/anti-money laundering (BSA/AML) compliance obligations, in order to further strengthen the financial system against illicit financial activity.” Also, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) always supported the use of RegTech by financial institutions to overcome their regulatory pains.
