SUMMARY:Beyond the Pilot: Deploying Governed\, Audit-Ready AI in Financial Crime Compliance
DESCRIPTION:Not another high-level conversation about “responsible AI.” This panel gets into the practical decisions financial institutions face when moving AI from experimentation into real financial crime workflows. \n\nWho has access?\nWhat can the AI do?\nWhat gets documented?\nWho validates the output?\nWhen must a human intervene?\nWho is ultimately accountable?\n\nThis webinar helps institutions answer those questions before they go live.

SUMMARY:Agentic AI in Financial Crime Conference - New York
DESCRIPTION:The Agentic AI in Financial Crime Conference brings together senior leaders from financial institutions\, compliance and risk functions\, law enforcement\, and leading technology providers for a focused\, practical examination of how artificial intelligence is reshaping financial crime risk management. Criminals are already using AI to scale fraud\, automate attacks\, and develop increasingly sophisticated methods of evasion. Institutions that fail to modernize risk defending against tomorrow’s financial crime with yesterday’s detection methods. \n  \nThat reality is accelerating the need for financial institutions to adopt AI capabilities of their own. AI is no longer an emerging technology sitting on the sidelines of compliance; it is already being applied across AML\, fraud\, sanctions\, KYC\, investigations\, transaction monitoring\, and operational decision-making. At the same time\, agentic AI is introducing a new level of autonomy\, complexity\, and governance risk. The question is no longer whether organizations will adopt AI\, but how they can deploy it responsibly\, effectively\, and defensibly. \n  \nThrough four substantive panel discussions and multiple workshops\, the conference will tackle the questions financial crime leaders are being forced to answer now: \n\nWhere is AI delivering measurable value today\, and where is the hype outpacing reality?\nWhat should effective AI governance and model risk management look like as systems become more autonomous?\nHow can institutions evaluate\, select\, and implement AI vendors without creating new compliance\, operational\, or regulatory risks?\nWhat does it take to build AI-enabled financial crime programs that are explainable\, auditable\, defensible\, and capable of withstanding regulatory scrutiny?\n\nThe conference is designed to move beyond high-level discussions about the future of AI. Attendees will hear directly from practitioners who are implementing\, governing\, testing\, and overseeing these technologies in real-world environments. Expect candid conversations around governance\, human oversight\, model risk\, explainability\, validation\, vendor due diligence\, implementation challenges\, regulatory expectations\, and the practical realities of moving AI initiatives from pitch to production. \n  \nThe Agentic AI in Financial Crime Conference is where financial crime\, risk\, compliance\, and technology leaders come together to separate what is possible from what is practical—and define what responsible AI deployment should look like as the industry enters its next phase.

SUMMARY:The New Frontier: Governing AI in AML Without Guidance
DESCRIPTION:Event Description\n \nIntroducing The New Frontier: Governing AI in AML Without Guidance. \n \nRegulators have stepped back. Historical model risk management guidance was just rescinded. Prescriptive expectations are giving way to principles. The burden now falls on financial institutions to define\, adapt\, and own their MRM frameworks based on their own specific set of risks. \n \nAt the same time\, the updated guidance is notably silent on generative AI and agentic AI\, despite many institutions already deploying or actively exploring these technologies in AML and fraud workflows. An RFI is coming. Eventual guidance is coming. But it is not here yet. That creates both risk and opportunity. \n \nNot every institution has the internal expertise to navigate this shift. Some\, particularly smaller or resource-constrained organizations\, will likely pause and wait for clearer regulatory direction. Others with more mature capabilities may move forward\, doing their best to build sound governance\, controls\, and oversight around these models in real time. In the absence of guidance\, something becomes better than nothing. \n \nThis is a moment. There is clear demand for practical\, experience-based direction\, and institutions are actively looking for it. Not theory\, not frameworks built for a different era\, but honest conversation about what institutions are actually doing\, what’s holding up\, and where the cracks are forming. That’s exactly the conversation we’re having at the Coalition Against Financial Crime (CAFC)\, and we’re not going to wait until September to bring it to you. \nSpeakers\n\n\n\nModerator: John C. Calderon Founder & Chair\, Coalition Against Financial Crime (CAFC)\nJohn Calderon is a financial crime and compliance executive with nearly 15 years of experience leading BSA/AML\, sanctions\, and consumer compliance programs across banks\, fintech\, and money services businesses.

SUMMARY:The Coming Hemp Crackdown: What Financial Institutions Must Do Now
DESCRIPTION:About the event\n\n\n\nThe Coming Hemp Crackdown: What Financial Institutions Must Do Now Complimentary Webinar | Presented by CAFC \n \nA federal reclassification of intoxicating hemp products takes effect November 12\, 2026 — and most financial institutions aren’t ready. \n \nThe 2018 Farm Bill created a national market for hemp-derived cannabinoid products by defining hemp as cannabis with ≤0.3% Delta-9 THC. It said nothing about Delta-8\, synthetic cannabinoids\, or conversion products. That loophole is now closing. The November 12 Appropriations Bill narrows the definition of hemp in ways that will effectively reclassify most intoxicating hemp-derived products as Schedule I substances — subjecting them to the same federal framework as marijuana-related businesses. \n \nFor financial institutions currently banking hemp accounts\, the implications are immediate and far-reaching.  \n \nJoin CAFC for this complimentary 60-minute briefing as the industry’s leading experts walk through what’s changing\, what’s at risk\, and the concrete steps your institution should be taking right now. \n \nWhat We’ll Cover \n\nThe legislative landscape: what the ban does\, what could still change\, and how to plan for multiple outcomes\nBSA/AML risk reassessment: how to reclassify hemp accounts and what that means for your risk tier structure\nCDD and EDD: auditing your portfolio and identifying intoxicating hemp exposure before the deadline\nSAR strategy: pre- and post-effective date filing frameworks\, rolling SAR considerations\, and interstate exposure\nCredit and collateral risk: loan covenant review\, inventory risk\, and UCC enforceability concerns\nA practical 90-day action plan your team can begin implementing today\n\nAbout the Speakers \n\n\n\nDanielle M. Boyle\, CCBP\, CBPA\nAVP / Specialty Banking Manager\, Dart Bank\nDanielle Boyle has spent more than four years leading Dart Bank’s Specialty Banking Department\, overseeing a nationwide portfolio of over 700 cannabis and hemp-related businesses. She began her career at Dart Bank in 2011\, spending seven years in accounting before transitioning into specialty banking — where her focus on compliance\, relationships\, and operational excellence has helped build one of the most respected cannabis and hemp banking programs in the country. Danielle holds the Advanced Cannabis Banking Professional Certification and a bachelor’s degree in international business and marketing from Grand Valley State University. \n\n\n\n\n\nChris Van Dyck\, JD Partner\, Cogent Law\nChris Van Dyck brings a decade of experience at the intersection of cannabis\, hemp\, and financial regulation. He has served as a financial regulatory attorney\, General Counsel\, Chief Risk Officer\, and BSA Officer at a financial institution — and was working directly with banks on cannabis compliance when the landmark 2014 FinCEN guidance was issued. He knows this space from every angle: regulator\, executive\, and attorney. Now a partner at Cogent Law\, Chris consults with financial institutions nationwide on building and managing cannabis and hemp banking programs that meet regulatory expectations\, manage risk effectively\, and generate meaningful revenue. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nJohn Calderon Founder & Chair\, CAFC\nJohn Calderon is the founder and chair of CAFC and a seasoned compliance executive with firsthand experience building cannabis banking programs from the ground up. As Chief Compliance Officer at Bison State Bank\, he launched the institution’s cannabis banking compliance program the same year Missouri legalized recreational cannabis — navigating the intersection of a newly legal state market and complex federal compliance requirements in real time. That experience informs everything CAFC does: practical\, operator-level guidance built for the institutions doing this work every day.

SUMMARY:CAFC Exclusive Webinar: Mexico After Mencho
DESCRIPTION:The death of Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes sent shockwaves through Mexico’s criminal landscape. But did CJNG actually collapse? Did it fragment the way experts predicted? Did the money laundering operation get disrupted? Did the revenue stream dry up? What emerging intelligence has uncovered will challenge everything you thought you knew about the post-Mencho landscape. \nFor anti-financial crime professionals\, the real story was never the death of a kingpin. It is what survived him. And what survived him may be more sophisticated\, more resilient\, and more deeply embedded in the global financial system than most compliance programs are prepared to confront. This CAFC webinar was built for the professionals on that front line. \nJoin a panel of former cartel insiders\, senior DEA investigators\, and financial crimes specialists for a frank\, intelligence-driven conversation about the true state of CJNG’s financial operations\, the networks that remain intact\, and what it all means for AML programs\, transaction monitoring\, and the detection of illicit financial flows in a rapidly shifting threat environment.

DESCRIPTION:Beneath The Surface: Unmasking Beneficial Ownership was an exclusive afternoon at Moody’s downtown Chicago office\, limited to 30 attendees\, focused on the complexities of beneficial ownership and its impact on lending and KYC practices. \n  \nKYC and lending share responsibility for risk management but often operate in silos\, with KYC focused on regulatory compliance and lending on credit risk and business development. The panel\, Beyond the Loan: KYC’s Critical Role in Protecting Your Bank\, discussed how the two functions can integrate and automate their workflows. In the workshop that followed\, Moody’s experts walked attendees through a real-world beneficial ownership exercise. \n  \nKey discussion points included: \n\nReal-time communication between KYC and lending teams\nEffective responses to adverse news and sanctions risks\nThe impact of regulatory changes on the relationship between compliance and lending\nStrategies for seamless collaboration to safeguard a bank’s financial and reputational integrity\nNavigating complex ownership structures to determine who really owns a company and whether it is eligible for a loan\n\nBeneath The Surface: Unmasking Beneficial Ownership was hosted by the Coalition Against Financial Crime and sponsored by Moody’s Analytics.
