Being an anti-money laundering (AML) executive requires balancing multiple critical responsibilities while navigating an increasingly complex regulatory landscape. These leaders must manage comprehensive programs on tight budgets, attract and retain talent, ensure compliant business growth, and adapt to evolving financial crime typologies. All of this must be accomplished while effectively detecting and deterring money laundering and terrorist financing.

This report examines the current AML ecosystem and key trends impacting FIs, AML compliance functions, and planned strategies and spending. It is based on a Datos Insights survey of 21 financial crime professionals in August and September 2024, including those who attended Datos Insights’ seventh-annual Financial Crime and Cybersecurity Forum.
