The 2025 ABA Financial Crimes Enforcement Conference concluded on Oct. 16, 2025, hosting over 450 attendees. Among them were our own Sherry Tomac, PMP, Kay Toscano, CRCM, CAFP, Monique Maranto, CAMS, CRCM, and Lauren Ceniviva, CRCM who left with some final thoughts to share.
Throughout the conference, one theme kept surfacing: Fraud and anti-money laundering (AML) are converging more than ever. As financial crime schemes grow more complex, it is clear that strong, integrated AML and fraud prevention programs are no longer optional — they are essential.

Whether you are building from the ground up or refining an existing framework, our team is here to support you — especially in managing high-risk areas like virtual assets, cannabis banking, fintech sponsorship, check fraud, identity theft, and elder financial abuse. These complex and rapidly shifting domains require tailored strategies, deep expertise, and a proactive approach to risk.
