Financial Crime and AML/CTF at AML Edge Melbourne
26 March 2026
Financial crime, from the inside
At AML Edge in Melbourne on 26 March 2026, Daniel Baulch spoke on financial crime and AML/CTF from the perspective of someone who has investigated it directly. The session moved past compliance theory to how money laundering and financial crime actually work — and what practitioners can do about it.
The through-line: strong AML/CTF frameworks are built not only on data, but on the ability to interpret what lies behind the numbers.
Beyond tick-box compliance
Daniel's approach reframes compliance as intelligence. A red flag is only useful if it can be turned into an actionable insight — otherwise it is noise. Using real cases and a storytelling approach, he makes a complex, technical subject practical, human and immediately usable for the people who have to act on it.
That distinction — control outcomes versus genuine intelligence — is where good financial-crime work is won or lost.
