What we'll cover
Financial institutions are under increasing pressure to strengthen AML/CFT frameworks while ensuring proportionality and avoiding unintended discriminatory effects. In this live webinar session with Arend Koper, we explore how supervisors assess whether institutions strike the right balance between effectiveness, risk focus, and fairness.

Key focus areas:

• Placing the ML/TF risk assessment at the center of the AML/CFT risk management framework

• Prioritizing top risks and allocating resources where they have the greatest impact

• Ensuring explainability and clear rationale behind AML/CFT decisions and controls

You will gain insight into how supervisors evaluate the quality and effectiveness of AML/CFT controls, what they look for during onsite and offsite supervision, and why explainability of decisions and models has become essential.

The session also highlights common weaknesses identified during supervisory reviews and thematic examinations, helping participants understand where institutions most often fall short and how expectations are evolving.

Who should attend
This webinar is relevant for compliance leaders, AML/CFT professionals, risk managers, and senior stakeholders involved in financial crime risk management and regulatory interactions.
