Hot topics: what is keeping compliance leaders awake at night?
Corporate leaders are grappling with complex compliance risks. This interactive session will explore issues increasingly dominating compliance agendas for management and boards alike, from cyber incidents and organised crime risks to AI governance and geopolitical disruption.
Experts will share their perspectives on:
- Third-party risk from organised crime and national security threats
- Sanctions, tariffs and impacts from geopolitical uncertainty

- AI governance guidance while navigating emerging regulatory expectations
Networking break
Anatomy of a crisis: AI, whistleblowers and a multi-agency investigation
A whistleblower alleges that employees of a global company manipulated the algorithm of its new AI-powered procurement platform to steer contracts to a government-connected intermediary who funnelled payments to officials. Investigators discover that the company's AI-assisted due diligence system flagged the intermediary as low-risk despite obvious risks, and AI tools missed other red flags, raising questions about accountability, evidence, disclosure and remediation.
Panellists will discuss:
- Accountability gaps when algorithmic outputs facilitate or fail to detect corruption
- Forensic challenges arising from AI tools that generate or interact with key communications and other relevant data
- Explanation of AI-assisted decisions and failures to enforcement authorities
- Remediation strategies when AI systems are part of the compliance failure
