The International Compliance Association reaches new milestone – the 10th anniversary of the ICA Annual Conference: the BIG Compliance Conversation

26 February 2018

Regulatory and financial crime compliance is a changing faster than ever before. Globalisation, geopolitical uncertainty, challenger businesses and technological advances have impacted every aspect of our lives. The speed of change is unprecedented. But what does this mean for the compliance community? What is our relevance and how can we future-proof our businesses? These issues, among others, will be the key theme of the ICA’s 10th Annual Conference: The Big Compliance Conversation.

The conference promises to be the most successful to date, with a packed-out agenda and a wealth of subject matter experts (mostly drawn from the ICA Fellowship) addressing key AML, compliance and financial crime issues in 2018 and beyond. The Big Compliance Conversation, the title of the conference, is an ICA worldwide initiative designed to get the global compliance community talking about the key issues of today and tomorrow. It is designed to provide exploration and debate around the latest challenges and issues facing our members, and regulatory and financial crime compliance professionals all over the world.

There will be multiple streams for delegates to choose from with each session focused around a question to encourage discussion and debate. Speakers include Tom Cardamone, Managing Director, Global Financial Integrity; Ruth Dearnley, CEO of Stop the Traffik; Adrian Burton, Channels Business Risk Director of Lloyds Banking Group and Mark Dunn, Head of Entity Due Diligence and Monitoring at LexisNexis.

Bill Howarth, ICA President states ‘I’m really excited about this year’s conference, particularly because so many ICA Fellows are joining us as speakers and facilitators.The strength of our compliance community is built on the network of our members and giving our Fellows, with their wealth of industry experience, the opportunity to discuss and debate the challenges that matter to them will provide an invaluable experience for all. We’ll be covering all of the latest topics from GDPR to doing business in high-risk jurisdictions but in a uniquely practical, thought-provoking and interactive way. I’m also delighted that we will be joined by Mark Cardamone and Ruth Dearnley who can share their knowledge, expertise and vision on how we can all help to make the world a more successful and stable place’.
