BDO's Global Leaders, Adriano Correa, Diego Rios, Juan Alejandro Dussan Torres, Edgars Volskis, Janis Ciguzis, Johannes Matschiner and Sanjay Sidhu, Stephen Peters, were interviewed by Financier Worldwide about Anti-Money Laundering in 2026. A link to the full article, published in Financier Worldwide Magazine February 2026 Issue, is available at the bottom of this page.
This February 2026 Financier Worldwide editorial feature canvasses the views of leading AML professionals on how financial crime is evolving and how organisations are responding through regulation, enforcement and technology-enabled compliance.
Featuring insights from Brazil, Colombia, Germany, Latvia and Malaysia, it highlights the most pressing current AML risks—especially the rise of synthetic identities, AI-driven fraud, scams and other tech-enabled laundering methods—alongside the operational realities of maintaining effective AML programs, including data fragmentation, monitoring and reporting challenges, and “alert fatigue” in high-volume payment environments. It also explores how firms are integrating newer AML technologies such as AI-driven monitoring, automated KYC and blockchain analytics, the barriers they face (cost, legacy infrastructure, interoperability and expectations for explainable AI), and the practical tools being used to strengthen and measure effectiveness (including KPIs such as alert resolution rates, false positive reductions and SAR quality), with examples from markets like Malaysia and Brazil.
BDO’s Global Forensics and Investigations team can help you strengthen AML effectiveness through independent reviews and remediation support, the design of practical risk and performance indicators, and advisory support to build more adaptive, technology-enabled and risk-based AML frameworks.
