10th Edition of the AML & Financial Crime Southern Africa Conference 2025
This is the biggest event of its kind in Africa.
Trade Conference International (TCI) is once again proud to host this year’s AML & Financial Crime Southern Africa Conference.
This will be the 10th edition of the biggest conference of its kind on the African continent, and once again we are ready to dissect the latest trends, opportunities and challenges facing the industry.
Nearly 300 people attended the conference last year. The event became a platform for speakers, delegates and sponsors to networking with a highly influential audience.
Issues that will be addressed include amongst others latest regulatory challenges, including the draft General Laws (Anti-Money Laundering and Combating Terrorism Financing) Amendment Bill, 2024, information sharing & PPP’s, corruption, enforcement, cash & informal banking, investigations and prosecution, corruption, better use of financial intelligence products and improving the availability of beneficial ownership information.
There will also be panel discussion on the effects of running a cash-based economy, lack of resources, the complex regulatory environment, technology solutions and risk management.
Delegates asked for more regulatory representation and we have obliged. This year’s programme features amongst others the National Prosecuting Authority, the Financial Intelligence Centre, Special Investigation Unit, the Prudential Authority and CIPC.
The recent administrative sanction levied on several South African banks underlines the continued emphasis on reporting, stricter compliance measures and implementing proper money laundering controls.
By taking a proactive approach, and being adaptive, and innovative we can all contribute to a more resilient and secure financial system in the years ahead.
This annual gathering is TCI’s flagship conference, and has received rave reviews from delegates, speakers and sponsors over the past few years
We invite all potential delegates to this important industry event.
