The financial crime and compliance forum built around insurance

Insurance financial crime and compliance teams have spent years adapting banking-led guidance to a business that works nothing like a bank. Insurers sit several steps from the end customer.

They rely on brokers, MGAs and coverholders for controls they remain accountable for. A single geopolitical event can change overnight whether a risk can be written or a claim paid.

The FinCrime & Compliance Insurance Forum is built around those realities.

Shaped by interviews with leading insurance financial crime and compliance leaders, it offers one day for practitioners to test their approach against peers facing the same decisions, and to leave with answers they can apply.

Defining themes on the agenda

Making AI work without losing control

Where AI is delivering measurable value across sanctions, investigations, fraud detection and monitoring, and where it has fallen short. The governance required to scale safely, bring shadow AI into view and keep human oversight meaningful as agentic capabilities arrive.

Sanctions decisions when the answer isn't clear

Screening is no longer the hardest part. The challenge is deciding whether to write it, pay it or walk away when geopolitics, licensing uncertainty and commercial pressure collide, and embedding that judgement into underwriting without becoming a blocker to growth.

Shared risk across the insurance value chain

Insurers, brokers, MGAs, coverholders and delegated partners all contribute to due diligence and decision-making, yet responsibility is not always clear. How market participants share information, validate third-party assurance and build confidence in what they cannot always see.

Global standards, local reality and the next threat

How multinational insurers build control frameworks that work across jurisdictions without fragmentation or over-standardisation, and how leading functions strengthen horizon scanning to identify emerging financial crime, fraud and sanctions risks before they become incidents.

From monitoring to meaningful assurance

The question has shifted from whether controls exist to whether they work. How firms connect complaints, breaches, investigations and claims data, fix the data foundations underneath, and produce evidence that stands up to board and regulatory scrutiny.

From oversight to influence

How financial crime and compliance functions are earning a seat in underwriting, claims and distribution decisions, strengthening first-line ownership without becoming the operational owner of risk, and testing management understanding rather than assuming it.

Built for real dialogue

This is a working day, not a day of presentations. Every session is built around a decision insurance practitioners have to make, and the programme includes structured time for delegates to compare their approach with peers who face the same constraints.

Human Library roundtables

Live peer benchmarking

Decision-led panels

Small-group discussions hosted by practitioners who have already tackled the problem at hand. Eight tables, from proportionate due diligence to finding shadow AI, offer candid, peer-level exchange. Delegates choose a table, bring their questions and leave with a workable approach.

Live polling during panels shows where each firm's approach sits against the room on controls, governance and priorities. Delegates see whether they are doing enough, or more than necessary, with anonymised results shared in real time.

Panels built around real dilemmas, not broad themes. Can we write it, pay it or walk away? How far can we rely on intermediaries? Senior practitioners reason through difficult calls, with time for the audience to test their thinking.

Who attends the FinCrime & Compliance Insurance Forum?
