9th International Conference on Financial Crime and Terrorism Financing (IFCTF) 2017 - Guide


The threats of financial crime continue to evolve and grow at an alarming speed. The regulators, government, global organizations and international multi-lateral bodies expect financial institutions (FIs) to build the necessary infrastructure and processes to ensure the integrity of the financial system. To comply with these legal, regulatory and social obligations, FIs have to continuously enhance their capabilities and embrace new measures and technology to keep-up with the regulatory agenda while containing the ever increasing costs of compliance. At the same time compliance professionals must keep up to speed with new vulnerabilities across the sector which criminals are quick to exploit. Compliance professionals must future proof their functions to address new threats and rising costs while meeting regulatory demands.

This year’s International Conference on Financial Crime and Terrorism Financing (IFCTF), entitled “Future Proofing Compliance: Responsibility and Response-Ability”, will explore current and new trends in financial crime and the next generation of detection and technological capabilities expected of anti-financial crime professionals to meet global and regulatory expectations. International experts and industry specialists will be assembled to provide insights on current and future criminal threats and specify the necessary plans and strategies to respond quickly and effectively to these threats.

Following the success of IFCTF over the last eight years (2009 - 2016), this year’s conference is expected to draw more than 500 delegates from the private and public sector, including senior representatives from regional and global banks. Join us at this important conference where industry and regulatory experts and thought leaders from Asia and worldwide will provide insights on and potential solutions for FIs to manage money laundering and terrorism financing risks.
