The Risk Manager's Role in Combatting Financial Crime

Brought to you by PRMIA Netherlands

Recent years have seen a number of high-profile enforcement actions, fines, and penalties against financial institutions. The increasing threat of punitive measures has spurred increased investment in monitoring techniques, with leading banks seeking to improve detection capabilities. 

Within most banks, AML has traditionally been a compliance-led process. So what exactly is the role of risk management? To what extent can established techniques in risk model development and validation improve the quality of detection? To discuss these matters, PRMIA is pleased to welcome the following speakers to a virtual Chapter meeting.
