    Asset recovery and AI in financial crime - ANZ Apr 26

    In this month's ThirdEye View ANZ, Colin Dixon and Jing Zhang unpack some significant asset recovery wins out of New Zealand — and explain why this tool is one of the most effective disruptors in the financial crime arsenal. They also share the key takeaways from ThirdEye's recent AI roundtable in Melbourne: what senior compliance leaders are actually doing with AI, the false positive problem that's pushing the business case, and what AUSTRAC expects when things go wrong. Two topics. Plenty to think about. Read the full blog here: https://jadethirdeye.com/view/asset-recovery-and-ai-in-financial-crime/ #AML #FinancialCrime #AssetRecovery #AI #Compliance #ThirdEyeView

    Getting your financial crime risk assessment right - Apr 26

    Your financial crime risk assessment is a legal requirement. But is it actually working for you? Firms often treat risk assessments as compliance paperwork. The ones that get it right use them as a strategic tool, shaping everything from resource allocation to how effectively they detect and manage real threats. In this episode of ThirdEye View, Financial Crime Regulatory Specialist Claire Rees is joined by Nicky Green, Advisory Director at Square 4, to explore what good looks like and the common pitfalls that stop firms from getting there. They cover: • Why risk assessments are often done poorly and what the consequences are • What the regulations require across the UK, Australia and New Zealand • How to build an effective risk assessment that drives real business decisions • The most common mistakes and how to avoid them • What good governance looks like in practice   Read the full blog post: https://jadethirdeye.com/view/getting...

    Record fraud, money mules and rising regulatory pressure, UK Mar 26

    The UK's fraud landscape is shifting fast. A record 444,993 cases were filed to the National Fraud Database in 2025, and behind those numbers is a more complex story: fraud-as-a-service lowering the barrier to entry for criminals, money mule networks deliberately targeting vulnerable people, and enforcement action that signals a meaningful change in how regulators view fraud controls. In this month's ThirdEye View, Claire Rees, Global Financial Crime Regulatory Specialist at ThirdEye, and Phil Roberts, UK Business Development Manager, examine what these developments mean for compliance and financial crime teams right now. They cover the CIFAS Fraudscape findings and what the growth of fraud-as-a-service means for your detection approach, why continuous behavioural monitoring is becoming essential as point-in-time controls lose effectiveness against evolving money mule threats, the FCA's OPBAS report and what a shift towards single AML and CTF supervision for professional services could signal for the sector, and the PSR's £3.7 million fine against Bank of Ireland and what it means for how firms think about fraud controls going forward.

    Beyond compliance: What effective AML really means, ANZ, Feb 2026

    Australia's AML/CTF reform deadlines are approaching fast. 31 March for existing reporting entities and Tranche 2 enrolment. 1 July when Tranche 2 obligations take effect. But meeting these dates isn't about achieving perfection—it's about having an effective programme in place and demonstrating genuine progress. In this episode, Jing Zhang and Colin Dixon explore what AUSTRAC really means by "effective, risk-based, and outcomes-focused" compliance. Using practical transaction monitoring examples, Colin breaks down the difference between ticking compliance boxes and genuinely preventing financial crime. Key topics covered: • Critical deadlines for Tranche 2 and existing reporting entities • How to use AUSTRAC's starter kits and guidance effectively • What risk-based, effective, and outcomes-focused really mean in practice • Practical transaction monitoring: the cash example • How to tune rules to reduce noise and uncover real threats • Why analyst capability and capacity matter as much as your controls   The reforms are an opportunity to build programmes that genuinely protect our communities. That starts with understanding what effectiveness really means.

In this month's episode, Claire Rees and Phil Roberts break down what these developments mean in practice for UK financial crime teams, including your EDD obligations under the Money Laundering Regulations 2017 and why now is the right moment to revisit your geographic risk scoring.

    The modern CRO: how risk leadership is evolving beyond compliance

    How do you lead a risk function when criminals move faster than committees? Bob Liang, Senior Risk Executive, shares what he's learned across a career spanning corporate regulation, payments law, and fintech risk leadership. In this conversation with ThirdEye's Hamish Shaw, he explains why risk should be an enabler rather than an obstacle, how to build genuine partnerships with regulators, and why the detail-oriented mindset that builds great compliance careers can become a blind spot at the executive level. 📖 Read the full article: https://jadethirdeye.com/blog/how-risk-leadership-is-evolving-beyond-compliance/   #RiskManagement #FinancialCrime #AML #RiskLeadership #Compliance
