Safeguarding Australia's Financial Future – Unleashing the Power of Collaboration against Financial Threats!
September 09 - 10, 2025 | Swissôtel Sydney, Australia
Every year, Australia faces a staggering $60 billion threat from financial crime. Despite ongoing efforts, fraud continues to rise, prompting the implementation of Tranche 2—a significant overhaul of the AML/CTF framework. With the 2026 deadline looming, the pressure is on: Australia aims to solidify its position as a secure financial hub. Organisations now operate under heightened scrutiny, demanding meticulous monitoring and stringent reporting. The consequences of non-compliance? Significant penalties and irreparable reputational damage. The stakes are high, and falling short is not an option.
Enter AFC 2025: A crucial gathering of financial crime experts, dedicated to navigating the complexities of Tranche 2 and the evolving Regtech landscape. This isn't just another conference; it's a collaborative platform designed to bolster Australia's financial sector against emerging threats and prepare for the critical 2026 deadline. AFC 2025 fosters an environment where businesses can not only survive but thrive.
Engage in vital discussions, gain practical strategies, and contribute to strengthening Australia's financial future. Don't miss this critical opportunity. Secure your place at AFC 2025 now. With Tranche 2 on the horizon, the cost of inaction is simply too great
