She covers how metaverse has proved to be an exciting innovation, but comes with it’s own set of challenges, risks, and new money laundering and fraud typologies. She then talks about Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Crimes, and how they have become one of the most destructive, lucrative and fast growing crimes. The conversation includes identifiers / risk indicators that can be added to transaction monitoring systems, so that these crimes can be detected and caught by financial institutions. Alia stresses on how technology can be used to improve the quality of reporting by financial institutions, which is one of the biggest challenges faced by regulators globally.

    Fridays with Fintelekt featuring Chrisol Correia, Financial Crime Compliance Consultant

    On Fridays with Fintelekt today, Shirish Pathak, Managing Director, Fintelekt Advisory Services hosts Chrisol Correia, Financial Crime Compliance Consultant based in London. In his career spanning two decades, Chrisol has witnessed the evolution of the financial crime compliance function in terms of capability, resources, scale, infrastructure and culture and towards a broader understanding that good compliance is a business enabler and not a blocker. In the episode, Chrisol speaks on a variety of issues such as the benefits of technology for smaller institutions, regulatory expectations around risks and controls, collaborative analytics and information sharing. He finds it encouraging that regulators are now embracing technology and are in a much better position to provide guidance to financial institutions on how technology and automation should be deployed. He also feels that the next phase in the industry’s future will be around inter-institutional collaboration for multi-directional informational sharing about risks and typologies and a single view of risk across a particular ecosystem.

His goal for the book is to provide financial crime fighters all over the world with a secret weapon - access to advice, experiences and guidance from 30 global leaders as mentors that they can relate to. Kudos to Jun's decision to donate the profits of his book to support the fight against modern slavery!! More about the book here: www.thefinancialcrimes.com/book Besides revealing some golden nuggets from his book, Jun shares his thoughts on what might be the ideal characteristics and what he calls 'real' skills (not soft skills) needed for a financial crime fighter.

    Fridays with Fintelekt featuring Peter Piatetsky, Castellum.AI

    On Fridays with Fintelekt today, hear from Peter Piatetsky, Co-Founder and CEO, Castellum.AI as he provides his expert comments and analysis on the global sanctions regime, with host Shirish Pathak, Managing Director, Fintelekt. Peter has had a stint supporting US military operations and then with the US Treasury as senior policy advisory for Iran. His experience on the challenges in accessing data on sanctions led him to found Castellum.AI with the mission of building a 'google' for compliance, an easy to access online platform at an affordable price point so that anyone globally can find compliance data. Sanctions have evolved over the years from the level of countries to individuals to sectors. They been used for a variety of reasons from political to counter-terrorism, law enforcement, corruption and human rights. Peter believes that sanctions can be used as a very successful tool if there is a specific goal. The broader that goal, the more difficult it is to achieve via sanctions. Within the conversation, Peter takes us through many interesting insights on the US sanctions against Turkey, the current situation in Afghanistan, and the US-China conflict following the Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law. He also speaks about his research on human rights violations caused due to sanctions. For all of this and more, tune in to the entire episode!

    Fridays with Fintelekt featuring Ross Delston, Attorney & Expert Witness

    On Fridays with Fintelekt this week, host Shirish Pathak, Managing Director, Fintelekt is joined by Ross Delston, Expert witness, attorney & former US banking regulator (FDIC), who shares his varied experiences in policy responses to trade-based money laundering and trade-based terrorist financing, anti-corruption, corporate transparency and the risks from new technologies. Our key picks from this interesting conversation full of anecdotes and experiences from Ross's long career are: There hasn't been much progress in combating TBML and that all elements in the trade supply chain should be covered by an AML programme, and made to file STR reports to achieve any tangible results. Ross compares the new AML law in the US, especially in the area of public access to beneficial ownership registries, with that across the European Union, India and other countries. On NFTs and ICOs, he believes speculation may be a more important issue than money laundering fuelled by the huge rise in prices of various classes of assets over the years. Conviction rates in money laundering are often low because understanding the flow of money, and especially explaining it to a jury, is difficult and it may be easier to prosecute the predicate crime rather than money laundering. For more expert comments, please view the entire episode.
