Compliance is broken. False positives overwhelm teams, innovation outpaces controls, and firms are still punished for frameworks that look good on paper but fail in practice.

Beyond False Positives is a definitive guide for leaders who refuse to choose between growth and compliance.

Drawing on over two decades of real-world experience across legal, risk and financial crime, Bisi Giwa shows how to redesign AML and compliance for a world shaped by AI, fintech, Web3 and accelerating regulation. This book moves beyond theory to show how risk-based, intelligence-led compliance actually works in practice.

Inside, you will learn how to:

• Replace fear-based compliance with a practical, data-driven Risk-Based Approach
• Reduce false positives while improving detection and regulatory outcomes
• Embed compliance into risk appetite, governance and daily decision-making
• Design AI-enabled AML frameworks that are explainable, auditable and scalable
• Strengthen operational resilience and protect critical services under stress
• Turn compliance from a cost centre into a strategic and commercial advantage

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.

Compliance is not a barrier. It is the key to sustainable business success.
