Why detect and prevent financial crime? It may seem like a self-evident question, but it’s one with many possible answers. There’s an obvious response – because the law requires it – but there are other compelling answers too. One is simply the moral imperative behind the work of fincrime professionals – cutting off the finances of illicit activity and identifying transactions tied to victims is simply the right thing to do.

It’s this same moral imperative that drives fincrime professionals to seek continuous improvement in investigations and compliance programs. Encouragingly, a range of emerging technologies are helping answer the call to better detection and prevention in AML and fraud programs.
