Event: Explore the Intersection of Finance and Security in Today's Geopolitical Landscape
Date: Tuesday 12 March 2024
Time: 18:00 - 21:00
Venue: Radisson Blu, St. Julians
Discover the intricate dynamics between finance and security amidst the current global landscape at the upcoming event hosted by the ACAMS Malta Chapter in collaboration with the Centre for Financial Crime and Security Studies (CFCS) at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) and the University of Malta, Department of Information Policy and Governance.
This engaging in-person networking event will provide a platform for comprehensive discussions on the threats to financial systems, economies, and governance in today's fragmented geopolitical world. Recent events including the Russian invasion of Ukraine, attacks on Israel, and incidents in the Red Sea have underscored the need for robust strategies to address strategic shocks in the global economy.
Moreover, the event will delve into the misuse of technology and innovation such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), cryptocurrencies, and social media, exploring how these advancements have been exploited for fraudulent activities, misinformation, and even influencing elections, with finance at the core of these issues.
Attendees will have the opportunity to gain insights into responses to illicit finance from various perspectives, including Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Countering Terrorist Financing (CTF), Counter-Proliferation Finance (CPF), and wider Sanctions Evasion measures.
