OPENING KEYNOTE
Hon Dr. David Masondo
Deputy Minister – Ministry of Finance
Hear directly from global decision makers and thought leaders shaping the future of risk and compliance.
Financial crime, sanctions and geopolitical risks are increasingly interconnected, creating new points of exposure for financial institutions. This convergence is making it harder to assess risk in isolation. A look at how institutions can identify these connections and strengthen their approach to managing them.
Regulators and enforcement agencies are placing greater emphasis on the effectiveness of financial crime controls, with the potential for more significant enforcement action. This panel will consider how expectations are changing and what firms need to demonstrate beyond technical compliance.
Sanctions regimes have expanded rapidly, while evasion networks have become more sophisticated in exploiting trade, ownership structures and financial channels. A look at the methods being used to circumvent restrictions and how financial institutions can identify and manage this exposure.
Financial crime programmes are under increasing pressure to demonstrate that controls identify and mitigate genuine risks rather than simply satisfy regulatory requirements. This session will examine how institutions can measure effectiveness, allocate resources and demonstrate meaningful outcomes.
