Deloitte is proud to host the 2nd Financial Crime Symposium: From Risk to Resilience: Shaping the Future of Financial Crime Prevention, taking place on November 3 at the Athens Conservatoire.
The event brings together leading voices from across the anti-financial crime ecosystem—law enforcement, regulators, financial institutions, and industry experts—to explore today’s most pressing challenges and opportunities. From geopolitical developments and their impact on sanctions compliance, to regulatory updates in the servicing market and the new EU AML framework, the Symposium will explore the evolving landscape of financial crime.
Key topics will include the use of AI and machine learning in transaction monitoring, innovations in digital identity and KYC, leveraging RegTech for fraud and AML compliance, as well as emerging fraud typologies in payments and banking. We will also examine industry collaboration, case studies such as AMLA/AMLR implementation, and practical strategies for financial institutions to strengthen their defenses.
With threats that transcend borders and criminal networks becoming increasingly sophisticated, the Symposium aims to foster dialogue, share global insights, and highlight innovative strategies that can build trust, enhance resilience, and safeguard the integrity of our financial system.
By joining us at this vibrant and educational event, you will gain more than the opportunity to make powerful connections, discover new perspectives, and explore real-world approaches to compliance, risk management, and transparency in the digital age.
