As financial crime threats continue to evolve and regulatory expectations intensify, organisations across Southern Africa face increasing pressure to strengthen their anti-money laundering (AML) and financial crime risk management frameworks. Against the backdrop of heightened regulatory scrutiny and South Africa’s ongoing post-grey listing remediation efforts, staying ahead of emerging risks has never been more important.

To address these critical challenges, Trade Conference International (TCI) will host the 11th Annual AML & Financial Crime Southern Africa Conference on 9 & 10 September 2026 at the Indaba Hotel, Fourways, Johannesburg, South Africa.

This premier industry gathering will bring together regulators, financial institutions, compliance professionals, risk practitioners, law enforcement agencies, technology providers, and industry experts to discuss the latest developments shaping the fight against financial crime.

The conference programme will provide valuable insights into the most pressing AML and financial crime issues facing organisations today, including:

  • Regulatory scrutiny and post-grey listing remediation
  • The latest trends in AML and financial crime compliance
  • AML risks in 2026 and beyond
  • Technology and innovation challenges
  • An overview of present anti-money laundering efforts within the SADC region
  • Identifying, assessing, and mitigating emerging financial crime risks
  • Monitoring, sanctions, and enforcement developments
  • The opportunities and challenges presented by new technologies
  • Terrorist financing, organised crime, and corruption risks

Delegates will gain practical knowledge, hear from leading experts, and explore strategies for enhancing compliance programmes in an increasingly complex environment.

The conference is supported by leading organisations within the AML and financial crime compliance sector.
