Beyond the FATF’s Grey List – Is SA Really Off the Hook?

South Africa may have officially exited the FATF’s grey list, but the journey toward stronger anti-money laundering (AML) and combatting the financing of terrorism (CFT) controls is far from over. In many ways, 2026 marks the true beginning of South Africa’s long-term compliance, monitoring, and enforcement efforts. With global scrutiny still high and regulatory expectations rising, financial and accounting professionals remain at the heart of the country’s defence against financial crime.
This essential annual webinar equips you with the latest AML/CFT updates, risks, obligations, and best-practice measures you need to remain compliant and professionally competent in 2026.

Why You Should Attend:

• Stay aligned with new regulatory expectations following South Africa’s departure from the grey list — a milestone that brings new responsibilities, not fewer.
• Understand emerging AML/CFT risks in the South African landscape, including beneficial ownership transparency, high-risk sectors, digital threats, and cross-border vulnerabilities.
• Learn about updated compliance duties for accountants, auditors, bookkeepers, tax practitioners, and other accountable institutions under the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC) Act.
• Strengthen your organisation’s risk culture with practical guidance on client onboarding, risk scoring, enhanced due diligence, and ongoing monitoring.
• Protect yourself professionally by understanding the consequences of non-compliance and the latest enforcement trends.

With financial crime rapidly evolving, keeping your AML/CFT knowledge up to date is not optional — it’s an annual professional requirement for everyone in accounting and finance. This session consolidates everything you need to navigate 2026 with confidence, clarity, and compliance.

Join us as we unpack what lies beyond the grey list, and how South African professionals can help ensure the country never returns there.
