ACAMS Spain Chapter June 2025 Event: Strengthening Public-Private Collaboration in the Fight Against Financial Crime

Overview

As financial crime continues to evolve in complexity and scope, the need for effective collaboration between public authorities and private entities has never been more urgent. This session will explore the dual pillars of modern AML efforts: intelligence-driven cooperation and technology-enabled detection.

We will begin by examining the current state of public-private collaboration in the areas of financial intelligence and supervision, including the status of the AML framework (AMLA, EU AML Single Rulebook). What frameworks are working? Where do gaps remain? And most importantly, how can both sectors build trust and share insights while respecting legal and regulatory boundaries? Participants will gain a forward-looking perspective on the challenges and opportunities shaping this critical partnership.

The session will then delve into the role of obliged entities in detecting and preventing suspicious activity. We will highlight best practices for enhancing collaboration across sectors, focusing on how technology (including AI and data analytics) is transforming the ability to identify, assess, and report risk.

Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of:

• The broader implications for regulatory alignment and global AML strategies
• Key barriers to effective public-private intelligence sharing—and how to overcome them
• How obliged entities can strengthen internal systems to support early detection and reporting
• Concrete examples of how innovation is reshaping AML efforts

Join us for an insightful discussion on how united efforts and smart technologies can strengthen the global fight against financial crime.
