AMLFC Institute & ComplianceAid hereby invites you to participate in a complimentary webinar to support continued professional development.

• Know Your Agent (KYA): As AI agents begin to initiate and execute transactions, compliance programs must identify the agent, the human or entity behind it, and the scope of its permissions. This means extending KYC principles to autonomous actors so that every transaction remains attributable to an accountable party.
• Parametrization Risk: Blockchain analytics and AI-driven monitoring are only as reliable as the thresholds, rules and risk weights configured in them. Poorly calibrated parameters, whether vendor defaults or assumptions that are never reviewed, generate false comfort, alert overload or blind spots. Defensible programs require documented calibration, periodic tuning and human oversight.
• DPI as the Foundation for Know Your Agent
• Defensible AI Monitoring: Vendor Governance and Examination Evidence
• Cross-Border Interoperability of Compliance Signals

CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION (CPES):
