Financial crime doesn’t just make headlines. It erodes trust, destabilises economies, and costs South Africa billions every year. With the country freshly off the FATF greylist and a new Mutual Evaluation already underway, the pressure on Accountable Institutions to get compliance right has never been higher.
On 24 June 2026, South Africa's leading conference on FICA and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) returns to The Forum, Bryanston, Johannesburg, bigger and better than its sold-out 2025 edition! Join top prosecutors, investigators, and compliance leaders for a day of real-world case studies, practical strategies, and powerful networking.
