Where fraud meets compliance: Building a stronger line of defense

Insight Paper

The big picture: The convergence of fraud and compliance risk management has moved beyond a “nice to have” efficiency play to a strategic imperative. It is becoming widely recognised that fraud and AML risks are now deeply intertwined — operationally, technologically and strategically.

Weaponised bad actors: Criminals — whose sophistication is steadily rising with the “democratisation” and “weaponisation” of AI for nefarious activity — do not distinguish between fraud and compliance; the regulators do not distinguish; therefore, financial institutions should not distinguish either.
