AML Compliance Excellence Across the Caribbean
The AML Compliance Excellence Across the Caribbean 2026 Series builds on the strong foundation established through last year’s webinars and workshops, which focused on strengthening institutional understanding of AML/CFT obligations, inspection readiness, and the practical application of a risk‑based approach.
This year’s series advances that momentum by focusing more deliberately on effectiveness, coordination, and emerging areas of risk.
Together, this series reflects Altus Regional’s continued commitment to delivering credible, applied learning that supports institutional resilience and professional excellence across the Caribbean AML/CFT landscape.
This year’s AML Compliance Excellence programme explores how institutions and authorities respond to increasingly complex financial crime challenges.
The 2026 series will combine open webinars with advanced workshops for topics requiring deeper engagement.
Sessions are designed to encourage critical reflection on where systems commonly break down and how existing frameworks can be strengthened to deliver better outcomes.

Friday, 5 June 2026- Emerging Financial Crime Risks: Governance, Supervision, and Compliance in a Changing Financial Landscape

Friday, 10 July 2026- Asset Recovery and Confiscation: Governance, Controls, and Institutional Readiness
This one-day advanced workshop will examine persistent asset recovery challenges identified in FATF and CFATF assessments across the Caribbean, including procedural complexity, evidentiary constraints, limited integration of financial investigations, and fragmented institutional roles. Participants will explore why asset recovery processes frequently stall after assets are identified or restrained, despite the existence of robust legal frameworks. Through structured discussion and practical case analysis, the session will identify key gaps in governance, coordination, and asset management, and develop a practical roadmap to strengthen recovery outcomes within existing Caribbean systems.
