A Letter From AFC's Event Director, Megan Gleave

Dear Colleagues,

Australia's financial landscape is constantly evolving, and the fight to maintain a secure financial hub faces escalating challenges. Fraud, scams, and money laundering continue to pose significant threats, while impending regulatory measures like Tranche will further intensify the need for vigilance.

The rapid expansion of non-banking sectors brings increased scrutiny and compliance concerns, particularly around Know Your Customer (KYC) obligations, which are set to become even more stringent. Geopolitical events add another layer of complexity, with evolving sanctions regimes impacting businesses across the board.

Amidst these challenges, cutting-edge technologies like AI, blockchain, and advanced analytics offer powerful tools to strengthen our financial systems. AFC 2025 is a strategically designed conference that provides financial crime leaders with a critical opportunity to bolster their organisations, stay ahead of emerging threats, and confidently navigate this complex environment. With the 2026 Tranche 2 deadline fast approaching, resilience and a proactive approach are more crucial than ever.

AFC 2025 will equip experts with the knowledge, strategies, and connections needed to safeguard the integrity of Australia's financial hub. Secure your place at AFC 2025. Enhance your financial crime defence strategies, prepare for Tranche 2, and position yourself at the forefront of the fight against financial crime. Your proactive stance starts here!

Warm regards,

Megan Gleave
