FATF shapes the global direction of travel, but the real challenge for banks is anticipating what supervisors will challenge next. Increasingly, regulators are not just asking whether controls exist. They’re asking whether they work, whether they are efficient, and whether they produce meaningful outcomes.

This session looks at the themes emerging from FATF discussions and the wider regulatory landscape, what that suggests for 2026 priorities, and how banks should adapt risk models and monitoring strategies to stay ahead of enforcement pressure.

Agenda:

1. What FATF themes typically become supervisory priorities

2. The controls regulators increasingly challenge as ineffective

3. Strengthening monitoring outcomes, alert quality, and investigation standards

4. Updating risk models and calibration to reflect emerging threats

5. Q&A and key takeaways
