Nigeria AML Intensive

Financial Integrity: Governance Intelligence

From Regulatory Mandate To Institutional Excellence

The Roadmap Has Been Submitted. Delivery Is the Real Challenge.

The Central Bank of Nigeria's Baseline Standards for Automated AML Solutions have moved from expectation to execution.

Following the submission of institutional roadmaps on 10 June 2026, regulated institutions are now accountable for delivering against commitments across 12 functional areas, with implementation milestones extending through 2027 and 2028.

For many institutions, the challenge is no longer understanding the requirement—it is building the technology, governance, data, and operating capabilities needed to deliver.

NAMLI 2026 brings together senior compliance, risk, technology, and financial crime leaders to address that implementation challenge.

The Situation: Moving From Roadmap to Reality

A submitted roadmap is a commitment—not the completion of the journey.

Institutions are now entering the most challenging phase: turning regulatory commitments into sustainable operational capability. This requires more than policy updates; it requires effective integration between systems, stronger governance frameworks, reliable data environments, and implementation models capable of withstanding supervisory scrutiny.

Across the sector, institutions are addressing challenges around KYC and KYB integration, AI-assisted AML solutions, transaction monitoring effectiveness, alert management, and the governance structures required to support increasingly technology-driven compliance environments.

The question is no longer whether institutions understand the CBN’s expectations. The question is whether they are ready to deliver.

NAMLI 2026 | 30–31 July | Lagos

NAMLI is Nigeria’s executive programme dedicated to translating the CBN’s automated AML requirements into practical institutional delivery.

This is not a traditional conference. NAMLI is a working executive forum designed for leaders responsible for AML strategy, compliance transformation, technology enablement, and risk governance.

Over two intensive days, participants will examine the practical realities of implementing the CBN’s 12 functional standards, including supervisory expectations following roadmap submission, AI governance and validation, systems integration, transaction monitoring, vendor oversight, and the execution frameworks required to deliver sustainable compliance outcomes.

Who Should Attend?

NAMLI is designed for senior professionals responsible for shaping and delivering AML capability within their institutions, including Chief Compliance Officers, Chief Risk Officers, Chief Technology Officers, Heads of Financial Crime, Heads of AML, Heads of Compliance, and technology leaders supporting financial crime transformation.

Participants will gain practical perspectives, implementation insights, and peer-level engagement focused on one central challenge: moving from regulatory commitment to operational reality.

Positioning

Implementation-driven

Nigeria AML Intensive (NAMLI) is designed for execution, not observation. Every session is implementation-driven, producing tangible institutional outputs — insight without delivery is not NAMLI.

Regulator-aligned

NAMLI is regulator-aligned by design, embedding CBN, NFIU, and supervisory expectations directly into the programme architecture rather than interpreting them retrospectively.

Practitioner-led

NAMLI sessions are practitioner-led, with senior global, continental and domestic practitioners who have solved these challenges in real institutions guiding the sessions — not vendors or theorists.

Execution-focused

Rooted in execution: participants leave with defined deliverables, including gap registers, implementation roadmaps, and a NAMLI Compact - a mechanism that makes NAMLI a sector governance institution.

Cross-institutional

NAMLI is cross-institutional, convening peers facing equivalent regulatory and operational constraints so that solutions are developed in context, not in isolation.

Practitioners Series

Building a Defensible EWR Assessment

Your TM scenarios, alert thresholds, and customer risk ratings are only as credible as the risk assessment beneath them. If your EWRA is absent or cosmetic, everything built on it fails examination.

LEARN MORE

KYC to Transaction Monitoring Integration

The CBN has declared it explicitly: AML systems without KYC/KYB linkage are non-compliant. This programme closes the most common Critical gap in the Nigerian market — in the room, not as homework.

LEARN MORE

ISO/IEC 42001: AI/ML Management System

Independent annual model validation has the longest lead time of any CBN requirement. Build your model committee, complete your inventory, and engage a validator — before the window closes.

LEARN MORE

Enterprise Case Management Deployment

Spreadsheets are not case management. This structured deployment programme takes institutions from requirements definition through vendor selection to a validated, CBN-examination-ready enterprise case management system.

LEARN MORE

NFIU Compliance & STR Automation

The 24-hour STR submission requirement is a hard legal obligation. Manual reporting at volume is a compliance liability. This programme automates it — with NFIU in the room.

LEARN MORE

Dual-Purposing AML for ESG Disclosure

The documentation you build for CBN compliance is the same documentation international investors and rating agencies assess for governance quality. This programme produces both — in one working session.

Understand exactly where your institution stands against the CBN’s 12 functional areas — and what the gap will cost if left unaddressed before the 2027 and 2028 deadlines close in..

Build the execution architecture that turns a submitted roadmap into a delivered compliance programme — covering KYC/KYB integration, AI governance, and alert frameworks that withstand supervisory scrutiny.

GAIN practical frameworks for sequencing your implementation, resourcing your delivery, and communicating credible progress to your board and to the regulator.

CONNECT with the senior compliance, risk, and technology leaders who are setting Nigeria’s AML standard — and leave with the practitioner relationships that make institutional delivery possible.
