"Adoption of New Technology for Identifying Money Laundering: An Exploration of Artificial Intelligence’s Usability in Banks to Combat Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing" Given the global threat of money laundering, with an estimated US$800 billion to US$2 trillion laundered annually, there is a pressing need for robust solutions to combat illicit activities. Financial institutions, particularly banks, are frequently exploited for money laundering. This thesis investigates the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a decision-maker in Anti-Money Laundering (AML) operations to counteract money laundering and terrorist financing. The primary research question explored AI's usability as a decision-maker within AML operations. Key to this investigation was understanding the regulatory and compliance requirements imposed on AI by AML departments, as well as AI’s technical functionalities to support daily operations. The literature review covered the fundamentals of AML and AI, and examined their integration to identify techniques suitable for AML departments. The methodology employed a qualitative research design with an inductive approach. Findings led to the construction of a framework from second-order themes, which were further developed into aggregated dimensions and categorized into compliance and functional criteria, prioritized by their criticality. The study concludes that AI can be effectively utilized in AML departments as a decision-maker, provided that all aggregated dimensions are met. AI's integration into AML operations can enhance efficiency and effectiveness in combating financial crimes. #compliance #antimoneylaundering #transactionmonitoring #aml For more information: https://lnkd.in/dT7JCb9P

Top issues that will shape compliance leaders’ in-trays in the year ahead In 2024, financial crime compliance professionals face evolving challenges due to geopolitical instability, economic volatility, and advancing technology. The article highlights three key issues expected to shape the landscape: 1. Increased Focus on Combating Terrorist Financing: Growing geopolitical unrest, such as the Gaza war and African coups, emphasizes the need for stricter scrutiny of transaction flows and alternative payment methods like cryptocurrencies and crowdfunding. Regulators and tech companies are urged to enhance customer identification and monitoring to curb funding for terrorism and violent regimes. 2. Advancements in Sanctions Enforcement Through AI: Traditional watchlist screening is insufficient for identifying sanctioned individuals' networks. AI and data analytics will enable banks and financial institutions to assess broader risk signals by analyzing identity, associations, and transaction patterns, enhancing sanctions enforcement against financial crime. 3. AI Adoption Shifts Toward Managing Bias and Transparency: The focus on AI's role in fraud and AML detection will evolve to address model bias, training, and transparency. Skills in data preprocessing, model monitoring, and decision-making strategies will be critical, with organizations encouraged to invest in staff training to optimize AI's potential. The article underscores the need for proactive measures, technological advancements, and enhanced skills to address financial crime challenges in 2024.

Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC)’s?Report on the Adoption of Regtech for Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Financing of Terrorism: Key observations: - The latest Regtech survey results of 50 selected Licensed Corporations (LCs), most of the surveyed LCs have reported adopting Regtech solutions in at least one of the major AML/CFT processes. - Among these processes, name screening has the highest adoption rate (92%), followed by customer due diligence (CDD) (71%), transaction monitoring (69%), management information reporting (43%) and third-party deposit identification and due diligence (34%). - Some early adopters of Regtech solutions are making continuous improvements to enhance the functions and optimise their solutions with the use of integrated solutions, APIs and more advanced technologies such as #artificialintelligence (AI). - Many others are starting to explore and adopt simpler Regtech solutions such as robotic process automation (RPA) to meet their #AML/CFT compliance needs. - In general, LCs recognised the benefits of adopting Regtech. Over 85% of the surveyed LCs acknowledged that Regtech has enhanced their ability to identify and manage ML/TF risks, and around 80% indicated that the adoption of Regtech has helped reduce human errors and the resulting unpredictable damages. - Over 75% of the surveyed LCs considered Regtech has optimised resource allocation which enables staff to focus on more crucial and high-risk areas. - - On the other hand, some LCs expressed concerns about their readiness to adopt Regtech. They also indicated that other major barriers included insufficient information on Regtech solutions and how these solutions can assist in the AML/CFT compliance processes. - While recognising the benefits of #Regtech adoption, LCs are also reminded to implement Regtech solutions in a responsible manner, considering four key principles, ensuring: (a) adequate governance and accountability by senior management (b) ongoing monitoring of Regtech solutions, including #AI models (c) effective data protection and cybersecurity measures for customer and transaction data and (d) effective management of any risks posed by external vendors As one of its strategic priorities, the SFC has also made efforts in adopting technologies to enhance its operational efficiency and strengthen its risk-based supervisory approach. It has automated its workflow and introduced AI to some of its processes, allowing staff to focus on higher-risk areas and more meaningful tasks. For instance, a new platform has been developed to analyse the intelligence from law enforcement agencies and an AI model has been applied to correlate key matters with targeted entities and highlight specific areas that require regulatory attention.
