Standard Bank set to host it's first Annual Anti-Financial Crime Conference
Geopolitical tensions and economic instability, coupled with significant regulatory changes, continue to pose serious challenges for financial institutions.
Businesses anticipate an increase in financial crime risks in the current environment, with evolving fraud and investment scams remaining top concerns for institutions’ compliance and investigation teams. As money laundering techniques have become more sophisticated and the global sanctions landscape continues to change rapidly, regulators are moving to require more vigilance from institutions and imposing new obligations on them. There is therefore a need to evolve strategies to combat financial crime effectively, as well as to continue serving clients.
Standard Bank Namibia is planning the first edition of an Annual Anti-Financial Crime Conference to start a dialogue amongst regulators and industry leaders and to learn from experts about financial crime trends, emerging threats, and our response to it.
Standard Bank Namibia hereby extends an invitation to industry players to purchase tickets for their institutions, and to interested individuals who are working within the financial sector. The event will host regional and local industry leaders and experts, who will share their knowledge and insights in the fight against financial crime.
Proceeds from the tickets sold will be donated to the Buy-a-Brick initiative. This is Standard Bank’s flagship corporate social responsibility project since 2015, that has been investing in the eradication of shacks and the empowering of Namibians to have brick houses.
