🔥 We’re thrilled to announce that the Coalition Against Financial Crime (CAFC) has entered into a strategic partnership with de Risk Partners — a boutique AFC consulting firm made up of former Chief Compliance Officers, BSA Officers and frontline practitioners who have walked the walk. 🚶♂️ This is more than just a partnership. It’s a shared commitment to raising the bar in our industry. At CAFC, we believe that real progress in the fight against financial crime comes from those who’ve been in the seat — who know what it’s like to build and maintain AML programs under pressure, navigate regulatory expectations, and drive meaningful remediation in the face of consent orders. 👩⚖️ de Risk Partners brings that lived experience. Their team understands the complexity, the nuance, and the reality of what it takes to run an effective AFC program — not in theory, but in practice. 🕵 This partnership is about impact. It’s about supporting institutions with practical, experience-driven guidance. It’s about helping BSA/AML professionals succeed in the most high-stakes environments. And it’s about advancing a future where financial crime is met with expertise, integrity, and collaboration. We couldn’t be more excited to join forces with de Risk Partners on this mission. 🚀 We’re especially excited to welcome Ravi de Silva and his team into the CAFC community. Their insights will be front and center in our upcoming webinars and conferences — bringing real-world expertise, hard-won lessons, and actionable guidance straight to our members. 🤝 #FinancialCrimeFighters #AFC #AML #BSA #Remediation #ConsentOrders #DeRiskPartners #CAFC #StrategicPartnership #LivedExperience #Purpose #Leadership
