BUTTON ### Defensible Reporting by Design Embed explainability into detection and investigation workflows so every alert, escalation and resolution is audit-ready from the outset. BUTTON ### Consistency without Compromise Standardize investigation reasoning across teams and jurisdictions while preserving expert oversight and human judgment. BUTTON BUTTON ## Why register? In 2026, "black box" logic is no longer a technical debate but a regulatory risk. With increased enforcement focus under the Bank Secrecy Act, evolving beneficial ownership requirements, and growing model risk scrutiny, institutions must ensure their AML infrastructure is transparent, consistent, and defensible. This session moves beyond buzzwords to discuss the practical design principles shaping modern AML programs. ### 17:00 – 18:00 Networking  ### 18:00 – 18:45 Expert Panel Discussion ### 18:45 – 19:15 Audience Q&A ![Untitled design (9)-1](https://info.thetaray.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Untitled%20design%20(9)-1.png?width=300&height=300&name=Untitled%20design%20(9)-1.png) ### “ThetaRay is certainly enabling our growth.
