Why This Matters Now

Financial crime is evolving faster than most AML programmes can keep pace with, and the gap between detection and exposure keeps widening.

What leaders are navigating today:

• Alerts and caseloads still drive most investigations, meaning risk is often identified only after it's already exposure.

• Structured and unstructured data usually sit apart, making a genuinely connected view of customer and counterparty risk hard to build.

• AI is starting to compress investigation timelines, but questions of explainability, governance and human oversight haven't caught up.

• Boards and regulators increasingly expect proactive, continuous due diligence, not periodic, reactive checks.

• Most organisations know what "proactive" should look like. Few have a credible path to get there.
  

This discussion is convened in partnership with Nuix, drawing on their frontline work in intelligence-led financial crime prevention. The framing is theirs to bring, the room is yours to shape.

What This Discussion Will Cover

The conversation moves through three areas over lunch:

Where AML Is Still Too Reactive
Where alerts, investigations or due diligence tend to surface risk later than you'd like, and what's actually driving that lag.

Building a Genuinely Connected View
What's really stopping a complete picture of customer and counterparty risk, data silos, unstructured information, legacy technology or operating models, and what changes when internal and external data connect continuously.

Where AI Changes Investigation, and Where Caution Still Wins
Where AI is genuinely compressing investigation time and enabling proactive due diligence, and where explainability and human oversight still matter most.

What You Will Take Away

You’ll leave with:

A clearer read on where your programme sits
An honest benchmark of how reactive or proactive your AML capability actually is today.

A practical view of connecting your data
How organisations are bringing structured and unstructured data together without a full technology rebuild.

A sharper sense of where AI actually helps
Where AI is genuinely changing investigations today, and where it's not there yet.

Perspectives from peers, not vendors
How other banking and insurance organisations are approaching the same shift.

A view of what proactive actually looks like
What a genuinely proactive AML capability looks like two to three years out, and what it takes to get there.

Who Will Be In The Room

This is a genuinely small, curated room, not a broad industry briefing. The value of the conversation depends on it.

A tightly selected group of senior leaders from Australia's leading banking and insurance organisations, including:

• Chief Data Officers and Heads of Data & Analytics

• Heads of AML, Financial Crime and Investigations

• Chief Risk Officers and Heads of Risk

• Heads of Compliance and Regulatory Affairs

• AML Compliance Officers

Participants are selected to ensure a high-calibre, peer-level discussion. Seats are strictly limited.
