Our Financial Crimes Congress is evolving in 2026, launching a Financial Crimes Week with a dynamic new hybrid format.

The week will begin with an in-person session in Sydney, followed by a series of expert-led online sessions delivered daily throughout the week.

The week begins with a full-day, in-person conference in Sydney on Monday 16 March, featuring keynotes from regulators such as AUSTRAC, alongside expert panels and practical workshops focused on regulatory expectations, AML/CTF obligations, emerging risks including scams and the Scams Prevention Framework (SPF), and real-world compliance responses.  

From Tuesday 17 to Friday 20 March, the conversation continues online with daily, lunchtime virtual sessions, led by subject matter experts and designed to deliver concise, practical insights into enforcement priorities, governance challenges, scams and fraud risk, and what’s shaping financial crime risk in 2026. 

What the week will look like:

Monday, March 16 | 9:00 am to 5:00 pm (AEDT) | Onsite – Corrs Sydney.
