AML Compliance Excellence Across the Caribbean

Altus Regional Blue Policy Series

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.

AML Compliance Excellence Across the Caribbean 2026 CALENDAR

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

    This interactive workshop will examine how emerging and non‑traditional financial crime risks are reshaping governance, supervisory approaches, and compliance practices. The discussion focuses on practical strategies for identifying, assessing, and managing evolving risks across regulated sectors.

  • 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.

  • Friday, 28 August 2026- Governance, Board Oversight, and Senior Management Asset Recovery and Confiscation in the Caribbean: Bridging the Gap Between Legal Powers and Practical Outcomes

    This session focuses on the role of boards and senior management in overseeing AML/CFT frameworks and managing institutional risk. Participants will explore governance structures, information flows, and accountability mechanisms that support effective oversight and decision‑making.

  • Friday, 2 October 2026- Managing High‑Risk Relationships and Activities: Regulatory Expectations and Institutional Controls

    This workshop examines how institutions identify, manage, and, where necessary, exit high‑risk relationships. The focus is on risk ownership, governance arrangements, and the internal controls that support sound, defensible decision‑making.
