Welcome Participants and Outline the Objectives of the Conclave

What we’re seeing across the US, UK, EU, Middle East and Asia-Pacific: the journey from rules-based detection to GenAI-assisted investigation to Agentic AI, and where leading institutions and their regulators sit on that curve today.

Topic: The Regulatory Perspective & FATF Readiness

The supervisory view on demonstrating, not just asserting, FCC effectiveness and what the upcoming FATF Mutual Evaluation will expect: risk-based monitoring, quality STRs, defensible investigations and evidence-based governance.

Topic: AI-Driven, Regulator-Defensible Investigations

Deploying AI across investigations and case management while keeping accuracy, control and defensibility ahead of the FATF evaluation, highest-value use cases, human oversight, and the governance and audit trail needed to scale safely (POPIA, RMCP, record-retention)

Topic: Leveraging Gen AI & Agentic AI in FCC

A hands-on working session on how we’re applying GenAI and Agentic AI to streamline investigations and analytics, with participants mapping the opportunity against their own operating model. Seven pillars:

Transaction monitoring optimisation - behaviour analytics, scenario tuning, fewer false positives
Unified Case Management (UCMS) - one investigation hub, customer 360°, AI-drafted STRs, e-filing across 20+ jurisdictions
Dynamic customer risk intelligence - continuous, behaviour-driven risk scoring
Fraud + AML intelligence fusion - a single network-level view of criminal activity
FCC effectiveness measurement - designing a board- and regulator-ready dashboard
FCC governance - ownership, model validation and MI that withstand scrutinA 15-minute live look at Agentic AI working end-to-end inside the investigation workflow.A 15-minute live look at Agentic AI working end-to-end inside the investigation workflow.
