Integrity insight: Financial crime summit

A room filled with people dressed in formalwear sitting at tables with the Financial Integrity Hub logo on screens. Financial crime continues to evolve in complexity and scale, impacting economies, institutions and communities around the world. In response, collaboration across industry, government, and academia is not only beneficial but essential. This symposium brings together leading voices to address emerging threats, regulatory developments, and strategies for strengthening financial integrity.

What sets this symposium apart is its foundation: it is convened by the Financial Integrity Hub, Australia's only independent, non-profit academic centre solely dedicated to financial crime prevention. Unlike other industry conferences, this event is rooted in rigorous research, policy engagement, and cross-sector dialogue.

Today is about more than just information-sharing – it is about shaping a shared response. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner, regulatory expert, or academic researcher, we invite you to engage, question, and connect.
