Tokenisation is moving into live market infrastructure, while AI and quantum computing are reshaping the financial landscape. For senior compliance, financial crime and risk professionals, the issue is not understanding the technology, but determining its impact on regulatory obligations, control effectiveness, governance and accountability.

This new practitioner-focused half-day workshop cuts through the technology to address the decisions senior teams need to make: where the risks sit, what controls need to change, and where accountability belongs. It covers on-chain AML/KYC, asset provenance and the Travel Rule, AI-enabled deepfakes and synthetic identity, the “harvest now, decrypt later” quantum threat, and third-party and infrastructure risks, alongside the evolving regulatory framework.

The session closes on the implications for the second line: refreshing risk assessments, testing governance and controls, clarifying responsibilities, assessing Consumer Duty implications and identifying the capabilities teams will need next.

Course Overview

By the end of the course, delegates should:

Understand tokenisation and real-world assets in plain terms, including what is being tokenised and why it matters to the investment and savings sector
Be able to apply two practical tests to any emerging technology: benefit versus implementation challenge, and threat versus control
Understand the financial crime implications, from on-chain AML, KYC, provenance and the Travel Rule to AI-enabled deepfakes
Understand the operational resilience implications, including third-party and concentration risk, important business services and impact tolerances, and the demands of the cryptographic migration
Understand how these changes shift roles and responsibilities, including senior manager accountability under the SM&CR and the SYSC 6 duty to maintain an effective compliance function
Form a view on whether these technologies make the Consumer Duty easier or harder to meet
Identify the skills gap these technologies create for second-line teams, and how to close it
Leave with a concrete set of actions to take back to the desk
