The Effective Management of Financial Crime Risks in Modern Banking
Location: Amman – Jordan
Date: November 24 – 26, 2025
Time: 9:00 AM till 3:00 PM
Background:
This elite-level executive workshop is designed to equip senior leaders with the insight, tools, and frameworks required to manage escalating financial crime risks in an era of digital acceleration, regulatory convergence, and global enforcement pressure.
Drawing on case studies from the US, UK, EU, and FATF jurisdictions — and translated directly to GCC realities — the programme focuses on how Arab banks can proactively detect, mitigate, and govern financial crime risks while remaining aligned with both local supervisory frameworks and international obligations.
Led by Dean Rowan — a practitioner who has led DOJ-directed remediation for a major U.S. bank, advised central banks under Article 111 enforcement regimes, and serves as the Middle East representative on the Global Technical Board of the International Compliance Association (ICA) — the course delivers practical, tested strategies from inside real enforcement, not academic theory.
Participants will gain exposure to cross-border enforcement dynamics, AI- and crypto-enabled financial crime typologies, governance and culture failures, and the practical implementation of next-generation AML/CFT frameworks that satisfy both business realities and regulator expectations. This is not an academic seminar — it’s access to the actual playbook used in real-world bank remediation, supervision, and transformation.
The Effective Management of Financial Crime Risks in Modern Banking – Amman – Jordan – 24 – 26 November 2025
This workshop aims to equip participants with practical and technical knowledge to tackle the growing challenges in combating financial crimes. It focuses on understanding global trends in financial crime prevention within the Arab context, alongside designing and implementing effective (AML/CFT) frameworks. It will also cover managing risks related to digital currencies, virtual assets, and emerging financial technologies.
Participants will be trained on conducting internal investigations, preparing Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs), and responding effectively to regulatory inspections and supervisory visits. Special emphasis will be placed on enhancing institutional governance readiness to address evolving regulatory challenges, ensuring coordination across the three lines of defense, and improving the quality of reports submitted to senior management and boards of directors.
By the end of this programme, participants will be able to: • Map the global enforcement landscape and extract direct lessons for GCC/Jordanian financial institutions. • Design and implement risk-based AML/CFT systems aligned with FATF, UN, CBK, and regional regulators. • Operationalize effective KYC/CDD, UBO analysis, EDD, and Source of Wealth/Funds documentation standards. • Detect high-risk activity across trade finance, private banking, correspondent accounts, & cross-border flows. • Mitigate risks arising from AI, digital onboarding, virtual assets, and regtech misapplications. • Conduct internal investigations, lead STR escalations, and prepare for supervisory challenge. • Build institutional dashboards, reporting lines, and audit frameworks that withstand regulator scrutiny. • Translate insights into training, simulation, and governance reforms with executive support.
TARGETED AUDIENCE
This programme is intended for senior professionals across regulated financial institutions, central banks, and enforcement bodies: • Chief Compliance Officers, MLROs, Heads of Financial Crime • Risk Managers and Chief Risk Officers (CROs) • Internal Audit Executives and Governance Leaders • Private Bankers, Wealth Managers, and Onboarding Officers • Trade Finance, Treasury, and Remittances Professionals • Regulatory Supervisors and Inspectors
