AML Transaction Monitoring Roundtable

Roundtable Overview

Singapore banks remain under sustained scrutiny following the 2023 money laundering cases. The pressure now falls not just on detection coverage but on demonstrating that falling alert volumes reflect genuine optimisation rather than exposure — even as many monitoring teams are managing growing backlogs. This roundtable brings together heads of AML monitoring and financial crime operations to examine what is actually working, and how banks are building the evidence trail that satisfies supervisors.

Discussion Points

How banks are reducing false positives without weakening detection coverage — and what examiners expect when alert volumes fall?

How much of the false positive problem is a tuning failure, and how much requires a fundamentally different technology approach?

How banks are building the audit trail that proves lower alert volumes reflect genuine optimisation, not reduced scrutiny.
