CONCLAVE & AWARDS
- Aurika by Lemon Tree Hotels, Mumbai International Airport
In today’s increasingly complex financial ecosystem, organizations face mounting regulatory scrutiny and a rapidly evolving threat landscape. From sophisticated fraud schemes, to emerging technologies like deepfakes, to necessity of real-time monitoring & reducing false positives, the pains are growing. Traditional & silo approaches are no longer enough.
Moreover, the focus is now shifting toward Compliance with Accountability — where responsibility is shared across functions, and proactive risk mitigation is key.
This event brings together leaders from the regulatory, banking, fintech, and legal communities to share actionable insights, regulatory expectations, and practical strategies to collaborate cross-sector.
The conclave culminates in an Awards Ceremony honoring individuals & teams who have demonstrated exceptional commitment, innovation, and leadership in financial crime compliance.
Join us for an engaging day of dialogue, knowledge-sharing, and recognition — as we work collectively to build a ecosystem for fighting financial crime.
