Join Financial Crime Leaders, AML Executives, Regulators, and FCC Transformation Professionals for an exclusive, invite-only conclave exploring how AI, evolving Regulatory Expectations, and FATF Readiness are reshaping Financial Crime Compliance and Investigation Effectiveness across South Africa.

All times are in South African Local Time
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: implementation and execution of the risk-based approach; change in compliance behavior; improvements since the last Mutual Evaluation; and effective transaction monitoring systems: how measures are achieving positive outcomes.
Topic: AI-Driven, Regulator-Defensible Investigations
Deploying AI effectively across AML/CFT risk management systems (risk assessment/transaction monitoring/sanctions screening) while maintaining oversight and control, highest-value use cases, human oversight, and the governance and audit trail needed to scale safely (POPIA, RMCP, record retention).

Topic: Next Phase in Financial Crime and Compliance
A hands-on working session on how we’re applying GenAI and Agentic AI to streamline ML/TF/PF risk management processes and systems, with participants mapping the opportunity against their own operating model.
- Gen AI-based Screening Against the Adverse News - Escalating only genuine risk without a human trigger.
- Entity-centric CDD/EDD.
- End-to-End Risk Assessment - By configuring risk drivers, launching assessments, and automating insights via integrated dashboards.
- Agentic AI for Investigations - Autonomous L1 alert triage & disposition, with human-in-the-loop escalation.
- 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
A 15-minute Live Look at Agentic AI Working End-to-end Inside the Investigation Workflow.
