Practical Approaches to Using Generative AI in Financial Crime & Compliance

Generative AI is reshaping the way financial crime and compliance teams operate, offering powerful new capabilities—but also introducing new risks. This session cuts through the noise to provide a grounded, practical look at how GenAI can be safely and effectively embedded into AML and FC&C workflows.
Industry experts will explore emerging use cases, operational considerations, and governance requirements to ensure responsible adoption. Attendees will gain clarity on what GenAI can realistically achieve today, how to manage associated risks, and how to begin transforming compliance processes with this rapidly evolving technology.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
