Australian Death Check: Improve the integrity of identity data and data matching
Claudine Lamond -
Head of Determination (TCW) Targeting Criminal Wealth,
ACIC
Carol Chris - General Manager- ANZ, GBG
Rebecca Mallett - Financial Crimes Manager, QSuper Group
The lapse in updating death records in a company’s database has led to reputational damage, customer dissatisfaction, fraud and financial losses. While organizations strive to conduct KYC/AML identity verification across various sources to provide accurate, up to date and complete identity information, there had been a lack of readiness when it comes to a single source of truth on death checks.
With millions of death records accumulated over the years at an average of 6.593 deaths per 1000 people over the past 20 years, the banking royal commission has flagged organizations for charging “fees for no service” against the deceased. Furthermore, Australia Institute of Criminology (AIC) estimates the direct costs of identity crimes are at a minimum of $2.1B annually to individual victims, businesses and government agencies. Organized crime rings have sunk to new lows and has gone beyond targeting the living; deceased records are used to fraudulently open credit card accounts, apply for loans, apply for mobile phones, and collect tax returns.
The panel discusses reputational damage, and, financial and fraud threats on death abuse. Look forward to actionable insights on how you can declutter your database by using deceased status indicators to protect your organization and your customers’ loved ones against misuse of their data.

Intelligence vs Compliance: Preventing financial crime while managing your key regulatory risks

Intelligence vs Compliance: Preventing financial crime while managing your key regulatory risks
Banks and other reporting entities are operating in a fraught regulatory environment, with agencies like AUSTRAC far more willing to take on enforcement cases against businesses of all sizes.
This in-depth session will explore the information you need to collect to ensure transactions are reported, financial crime threats are mitigated and regulatory enforcement risks are managed. Underlying Know Your Transaction (KYT) data is hard to find, often inaccurate and there is no single source of truth when facilitating cross-border transactions. Collecting and sharing this complex data also it adds another layer of regulatory risk.
Discussion topics will include:
• What is Know Your Transaction (KYT) compliance and how does it interact with KYC?
• Demystifying information across systems and message formats (e.g., MT202 COV) and the added complication of correspondent banking relationships.
• Will ISO 20022 make it any easier to report and satisfy regulators?
• How can reporting entities avoid attracting added unwanted scrutiny from regulators?
• KYT information sharing: are you moving on from email and fax?
• Can blockchain make AML/CTF reporting easier?
