AFC, Compliance & AI Leadership Forum

AI is already changing the way financial organisations detect fraud, assess risk and manage compliance. It can process information faster, identify patterns that might otherwise be missed and support teams in making better-informed decisions.

But introducing AI into a regulated environment is not simply a technology project. Organisations still need to understand how decisions are made, who is responsible for reviewing them and when human judgement should take over.

These are some of the issues we will explore at the AFC, Compliance & AI Leadership Forum, hosted by Citadel365, Vertex Compliance and FinComp Academy.

The forum will bring together professionals working in anti-financial crime, compliance, fraud prevention, risk, governance and financial technology. It will be an opportunity to exchange practical ideas, hear different industry perspectives and discuss what responsible AI use looks like in practice.

What to Expect

• A keynote on why strong AFC and compliance frameworks remain essential.
• Industry perspectives on the growing use of AI in financial services.
• An open discussion about AI in compliance and fraud prevention.
• Practical insights into relationship between innovation, regulation and accountability.
• An opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with professionals across the industry.
