In 2026, regulators won’t ask what controls you have. They’ll ask whether they actually work.
Recent fines and enforcement action make one thing clear: financial crime risk is evolving faster than most firms’ control environments. The FCA is no longer persuaded by policies on a shelf, training completion rates, or static MI packs.
FCA-regulated firms are now expected to evidence control effectiveness in practice across all aspects of the financial crime framework, including customer onboarding, identity verification, transaction monitoring, screening, escalation decisions, governance, and the judgement applied by frontline teams.
In this free 60-minute session, we’re joined by Avyse Partners and ID-Pal to discuss how firms can cut through theory to focus on what regulators actually test when assessing AML, KYC, and financial crime frameworks.
Key discussion topics include:
- How the FCA now judges whether AML and KYC controls actually work in practice.
- How leading firms are redesigning onboarding and identity controls to balance fraud prevention, regulatory expectation, and customer experience.
- What the FCA really looks for when testing senior management expertise and challenge, frontline judgement, escalation decisions, and financial crime competence.
- How to move from static MI packs to evidence-led insight that demonstrates detection, prevention, and remediation of financial crime risk.
- The early warning signs and simple mistakes that trigger deeper supervisory scrutiny, and how firms can stress-test their financial crime frameworks before regulators do.
