eClerx was proud to take part in the SIFMA AML and Financial Crimes Conference in Washington, D.C, in May 2025. The event brought together regulators, compliance leaders, and industry professionals to discuss how organizations are strengthening their approach to financial crime prevention.

Across several days of sessions and discussions, attendees examined current risks, reviewed regulatory updates, and shared practical ideas for improving controls, oversight, and day to day compliance work.

Here are several key takeaways our team gained over the course of the event:

●   Clear guidance from regulators and enforcement bodies

Speakers shared updates on recent regulatory changes and enforcement priorities that affect financial crime programs. These discussions helped clarify expectations and reinforced the importance of staying aligned with evolving rules and guidance.

●   Growing focus on new and emerging financial crime risks

Sessions explored how changing global conditions and new payment methods are creating new risks for organizations. Attendees discussed the need to stay alert, adjust controls, and regularly review risk areas to keep pace with change.

●   Using tools and data to strengthen compliance work

The event highlighted how better tools can help teams identify issues earlier and manage reviews more efficiently. Participants emphasized that technology should support clear processes and help teams focus on higher value work without adding complexity.
