As financial crime risks become increasingly complex, effective supervision is no longer about applying more rules — it's about making better risk-based decisions that deliver meaningful outcomes. This theme was explored during a panel discussion at the FinCrime Defence Symposium 2026, where regulators and industry practitioners shared global and regional perspectives on the future of financial crime supervision. Key insights included: ⚖️ Risk-based supervision must move beyond theory into practical implementation, focusing resources where they have the greatest impact. 📈 FATF outcomes continue to highlight progress while identifying persistent gaps, particularly across the DNFBP sector. 🤝 Financial integrity and financial inclusion should be viewed as complementary objectives that require thoughtful policy and operational balance. The discussion highlighted that effective supervision will increasingly be measured by outcomes, proportionality and the ability to respond to evolving risks. We thank Alvin, Beth Harris, Hiroshi Ozaki and Tanna Chong, moderated by John Cusack, for an engaging discussion that challenged conventional thinking and encouraged new perspectives, including that of academic partnership.
