What does AI actually mean for financial crime compliance in Australia — and is your organisation ready?

Australia's financial crime landscape is shifting faster than most organisations realise. A new report, The State of Financial Crime Risk and Compliance Transformation in Australia 2026, maps exactly what's changing and what it means for compliance, technology, and governance teams.

Here's a glimpse of what's inside:

Over AUD $2.2 billion in scam-related losses were reported in 2025 alone. The landmark Westpac AUD $1.3 billion penalty. Crown Resorts. Star Entertainment. Entain. HSBC. The enforcement headlines keep coming — and regulators are no longer satisfied with procedural compliance. They want proof that controls work.

The report covers:

• Australia's regulatory reset — what the 2024–2026 AML/CTF reforms and Tranche 2 expansion actually mean for banks, law firms, accountants, real estate agencies, and beyond
• AI and technology transformation — how leading institutions are using machine learning, behavioural analytics, and digital identity verification to move from reactive to real-time
• Enterprise risk elevation — why financial crime has moved from the compliance team to the boardroom
• Cross-sector collaboration — what intelligence-sharing initiatives like the Fintel Alliance reveal about the future of financial crime defence
• A market outlook for the RegTech, AML, and fraud prevention sectors through 2030

Whether you're in compliance, technology, risk, or executive leadership — this report gives you the full picture.
