Design AI-enabled AML frameworks that are explainable, auditable and scalable

Strengthen operational resilience and protect critical services under stress

This book is not about ticking boxes. It is about building living compliance systems that adapt in real time, align with business strategy and earn regulator trust.

Written for compliance leaders, MLROs, risk managers, fintech founders, board members and regulators, Beyond False Positives provides playbooks, frameworks and reality checks that reflect how modern firms actually operate.

If you are ready to move beyond static policies, manual controls and defensive compliance, this book shows you how to build AML that protects customers, enables innovation and supports sustainable growth.
