eClerx was proud to take part in ACAMS The Assembly, Paris, in May 2025. The event brought together regulators, compliance professionals, and industry leaders from across Europe to discuss how organizations are responding to financial crime risks and regulatory change.

Across two days of sessions and discussions, attendees shared insights on emerging risks, regional and global developments, and practical ways to strengthen compliance programs while keeping operations effective and well-coordinated.

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

●   Clear perspectives on regulatory expectations across Europe

Speakers shared updates on how regulatory expectations are evolving across different European markets. These discussions helped clarify areas of focus for regulators and highlighted the need for consistent and well documented compliance practices. They also emphasized the importance of staying informed, aligning internal processes with guidance, and preparing for continued regulatory change.

●   Growing attention on sanctions and global risk exposure

Expert-led sessions explored how global events and sanctions developments are affecting financial crime risk. The speakers discussed the importance of understanding cross border exposure and keeping controls up to date as conditions change, reinforcing the need for regular review of risk areas and strong coordination across teams to manage evolving threats.

●   Addressing new risk areas in modern banking models

Multiple sessions highlighted how changes in banking models are introducing new areas of risk. Speakers shared examples of how organizations are strengthening oversight and improving how they assess and manage these risks. The focus was on building clear processes that support growth while maintaining strong control and accountability.
