Join senior leaders and changemakers from across the financial crime ecosystem for critical discussions on AML reform, fraud prevention, regulatory compliance, and intelligence-led enforcement.

The State of Scams Prevention & Regulatory Transformation in Australia 2026 provides a practical briefing on how Australia's Scams Prevention Framework (SPF) is reshaping the responsibilities of banks, telecommunications providers and digital platforms.

The report examines the shift from voluntary scam prevention measures to a legally enforceable, cross-sector framework, covering governance, regulatory expectations, technology, reimbursement, board-level accountability and intelligence sharing. It also explores how AI, real-time transaction monitoring, Confirmation of Payee and behavioural analytics are becoming critical capabilities for preventing and disrupting scams.

With core SPF obligations commencing on 31 March 2027, the report provides leaders with key priorities for building effective, auditable and future-ready scam prevention capabilities — from strengthening governance and dispute resolution to developing real-time detection and cross-sector response models.

A must-read for banking, telecommunications, digital platform, fraud, risk, compliance and financial crime leaders preparing for the next phase of Australia's scam prevention landscape.

What does AI actually mean for financial crime compliance in Australia — and is your organisation ready?

Australia's financial crime landscape is shifting faster than most organisations realise. A new report, The State of Financial Crime Risk and Compliance Transformation in Australia 2026, maps exactly what's changing and what it means for compliance, technology, and governance teams.

Here's a glimpse of what's inside:

Over AUD $2.2 billion in scam-related losses were reported in 2025 alone. The landmark Westpac AUD $1.3 billion penalty. Crown Resorts. Star Entertainment. Entain. HSBC. The enforcement headlines keep coming — and regulators are no longer satisfied with procedural compliance. They want proof that controls work.

The report covers:

• Australia's regulatory reset — what the 2024–2026 AML/CTF reforms and Tranche 2 expansion actually mean for banks, law firms, accountants, real estate agencies, and beyond
• AI and technology transformation — how leading institutions are using machine learning, behavioural analytics, and digital identity verification to move from reactive to real-time
• Enterprise risk elevation — why financial crime has moved from the compliance team to the boardroom
• Cross-sector collaboration — what intelligence-sharing initiatives like the Fintel Alliance reveal about the future of financial crime defence
• A market outlook for the RegTech, AML, and fraud prevention sectors through 2030

Whether you're in compliance, technology, risk, or executive leadership — this report gives you the full picture.
