The 8th Conference takes place against the background of the recent greylisting of both South Africa and Nigeria.

After Turkey, South Africa is the second G20 economy to have been added to the grey list, while they join 18 countries on the grey list and 2 on the black list.

This year’s two-day conference will look at the effects of the greylisting and will dissect the technical compliance factors that were mentioned in the FAFT report that needs serious attention.

We will once again focus on all the important issues facing southern African countries when it comes to money laundering activities, including focusing on issues affecting the recent listing – insufficient due diligence, lack of training and staffing, facilitating AML/CTF investigations, improving risk based assessments, fraud, corruption and sanctions And properly implementing new technologies.

This annual gathering is TCI’s flagship conference, and has received rave reviews from delegates, speakers and sponsors over the past few years. It is the biggest and most popular conference in southern Africa.
