Webinar: Anatomy of a Failure – Learning from 2025’s Biggest Financial Crime Fines

February 24 @ 11:00 am - 11:30 am

Description:

In 2026, regulators have shifted their focus from “tick-box” compliance to the real-world effectiveness of operational frameworks. 2025 saw record-breaking enforcement actions that now serve as a vital roadmap for MLROs and compliance leaders.

In this 30-minute webinar, Complyport’s expert, Nicola Christofides, will conduct a “post-mortem” on the past year’s most significant financial crime failures. Moving beyond the headlines, we examine the missed red flags, systemic monitoring weaknesses, and governance gaps that triggered regulatory intervention.

In this session we will explore:

  • The 2025 Enforcement Landscape: A summary of the key themes from last year’s major AML and KYC-related fines
  • Common Points of Failure: Why automated screening and monitoring systems failed to flag high-risk activity in recent high-profile cases
  • The Governance Gap: Lessons on how senior management oversight (or lack thereof) contributed to the severity of recent penalties
  • Practical Remediation: How to use these “lessons learned” to stress-test your own financial crime framework and strengthen your 2026 compliance strategy

Who Should Attend:

  • MLROs and Deputy MLROs looking to benchmark their controls against recent regulatory findings
  • Heads of Compliance and Risk Managers responsible for framework design and oversight
  • Senior Managers and Directors seeking to understand their personal and corporate liability in the face of financial crime
  • Internal Auditors looking for key focus areas for their 2026 audit plan

🚀 Access to Resources
