Financial Crime & Fraud 2026 brings together Australia’s leading financial institutions, regulators, enforcement agencies, risk professionals, cyber specialists, investigators, and technology innovators to address one of the most urgent challenges facing the nation—rapidly rising, increasingly complex financial crime.
Across two highly focused days, this conference examines the full landscape of financial crime, corruption, AML/CTF reform, cyber-enabled fraud, scams, insider threats, misconduct, and the evolving tactics of sophisticated criminal networks. Featuring real-world case studies, practical frameworks, and future-focused insights, attendees will gain clarity on regulatory expectations, technology innovation, governance, and best-practice fraud prevention.
With major reforms underway—including Tranche 2 AML/CTF expansion, AUSTRAC’s enhanced enforcement capabilities, and unprecedented growth in digital fraud—this is a critical opportunity for organisations across all sectors to stay ahead of the curve and strengthen their defences.

• Stay ahead of emerging financial crime threats including AI-driven attacks, deepfakes, synthetic identities, cyber fraud, and cross-border crime.
• Navigate Australia’s most significant AML/CTF reform in decades, with insights from regulators and legal experts.
• Learn from recent high-profile fraud and corruption cases— what worked, what failed, and key lessons for prevention.
• Strengthen your organisation’s fraud, corruption, and risk frameworks with proven benchmarks, case studies, and best-practice standards.
• Improve your organisation’s resilience and readiness with practical sessions on crisis response, internal investigations, enterprise monitoring, and behavioural risk management.

• Hear directly from industry leaders across banking, superannuation, digital identity, cyber security, enforcement agencies, legal specialists, and global experts.

• Practical, actionable insights you can apply immediately to strengthen your organisation’s fraud and corruption controls.
• Exclusive updates on AML/CTF Tranche 2 requirements, risk expectations, and sector-specific impacts.
