Creating compliance leaders

As the compliance landscape evolves, the line between ESG and traditional financial crime frameworks is increasingly blurred. Nowhere is this convergence more apparent than in the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), a landmark EU regulation that places on companies a legal obligation to identify and mitigate adverse human rights and environmental impacts across their supply chains.

There’s a lot of noise in the industry on the use of AI in financial crime compliance, most notably concerns about explainability, bias and governance. These are legitimate considerations. But we need to be honest with ourselves and ask: are we holding AI to a far higher standard than we hold human analysts? And if we are, how do we reconfigure our expectations?
