Financial crime includes money laundering, fraud & corruption, scams as well as cyber-enabled crimes. FinCrime is estimated to cost US$5.8trillion (6.7% of global GDP) with less than 1% recovered. There is also severe harm to societies in the form of trafficking, organized crime, environmental crimes and terrorism financing. Particularly in light of several high-profile money-laundering cases and other fraud cases in Singapore, Hong Kong and ASEAN, it is critical to bring together public and private sector players to build capabilities to prevent, detect, respond to FinCrime.
The FinCrime Defence Workshops & Symposium helps increase participants’ awareness of financial crimes that affect major financial centres, as well as measures to prevent and detect money laundering, dealing with asset forfeiture, detection of frauds & scams, understanding how new technologies and data have facilitated cross-border money flows which pose both opportunities and challenges in dealing with cross-border financial crimes issues.
The FinCrime Defence Workshops & Symposium consists of the following 3 programmes:
This workshop equips participants with the knowledge and tools to combat financial crime. Covering critical areas such as money-laundering, source of wealth verification, customer due diligence, and transaction monitoring, the programme also addresses fraud and scam prevention, detection, and organised crime.
Participants will gain insights into the threats and harms posed by financial crimes—including drug trafficking, human trafficking, modern slavery, organ trafficking, and illegal wildlife trade—and learn effective response strategies to safeguard institutions and markets.
This Forum will bring together senior leaders across Singapore and Asia from the financial industry, including both private and public sectors—banks and financial institutions, central banks, and financial services agencies—to engage in candid dialogue on emerging risks, enforcement, innovation, and institutional resilience.
The Asset Tracing & Recovery Programme provides participants with the expertise to identify and recover proceeds of financial crime across both fiat and digital assets. Leveraging new technologies and data-driven approaches, the programme explores advanced methods for prevention, detection, and asset tracing.
Participants will gain insights into national risk assessments, prioritisation of threats and harms, and learn how to evaluate effectiveness through FATF mutual evaluations and outcome measures. This comprehensive approach equips professionals to strengthen financial integrity and combat complex financial crimes globally.
This programme, available by invitation only, is intended for high potential senior participants and leaders from Asian’s central banks, financial services regulators including law enforcement and financial intelligence units, the Workshop provides a high-trust, closed-door environment for enforcement, compliance, and regulatory leaders to build institutional capabilities across Asia. An interview may be requested.
