The Evolution of Risk
The past 12 months has seen big shifts in New Zealand's AML/CFT regime, culminating in a new, more risk-based and flexible approach to AML/CFT compliance that impacts all Reporting Entities. In the AML SUMMIT 2025, leading AML experts will explore how these changes impact compliance from a practical perspective, and give valuable insights into best-practice AML/CFT moving forward.
About the AML SUMMIT 2025
The AML SUMMIT 2025 assembles NZ's top AML/CFT experts to provide a thought provoking look at the legislation, how it is developing, and insights into global trends that will impact how businesses should approach AML/CFT.
Join fellow AML/CFT professionals from every sector and experience level for two engaging and insightful days of best-practice AML discussion. Hear from New Zealand's leading AML experts, and mix and mingle with delegates at coffee breaks, lunch, and networking drinks.
Day 1 - AML SUMMIT
A full day covering a range of topics and workshops by expert AML/CFT speakers, including:
-
AML/CFT Updates: A Year In Review
It's been a busy year of regulatory updates and guidance from our AML supervisors. We'll review the highlights (and gaps) in the guidance, and consider what matters most for effective AML compliance. - Panel Discussion: Preparing for the Coming Changes
AML experts, Auditors, and Compliance Officers discuss how the coming changes will affect Reporting Entities, and the best way to prepare for them. -
Online Scams and Cyber Crime
How can Reporting Entities ensure the safety of their clients' data? This session explores the importance of data security, record-keeping, and how to protect client information from malicious third parties. -
Disrupting Proliferation Financing
Weapons of mass destruction including nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons are a serious threat to global security. In this session, we look at how proliferation financing can happen through New Zealand Reporting Entities, and the policies, procedures, and controls you need to detect and deter it. -
From AMLCO to Auditor: Audit Insights and Tips
Finding AML/CFT audits a challenge? Hear from AML Solutions' Brandon Stanaway as he shares valuable insights from his experience as both auditee and auditor.
Day 2 - AML SUMMIT
A half day of practical AML/CFT workshops led by AML consulting experts:
- Workshop: Building and Evaluating Your Individual Client Risk Assessment
By 1 June 2025, each Reporting Entity will need to have a methodology in place for risk-rating every client. In this workshop you will be supplied with a workbook and taken step-by-step through the process of building a CRR system. If you already have a CRR system prepared, you will be able to test its robustness, assisted by AML Consultants and experts. - Case Studies: Unusual CDD / ECDD
95% of Customer Due Diligence is standard and easy to manage. But when you encounter the remaining 5%, what do you do? This session will explore unusual CDD and enhanced CDD cases, and how they were resolved. - Conducting Effective Remediation
Not everything goes according to plan when managing AML/CFT obligations. In this remediation workshop you will hear anonymised case studies of significant successful remediation, and learn the principles of a strong remediation plan for most scenarios, that can be taken away and applied in your business. - Workshop: Practical Reporting
Learn the different types of AML/CFT reports in this workshop. We will walk through each one, share practical insights, and what you should pay attention to for optimising your Compliance Programme.
