The CAFC welcomes a wide range of professionals and organizations involved in the anti-financial crime space. This includes compliance officers, BSA professionals, fraud analysts, law enforcement officers, regulators, government officials, fintech and regtech vendors, consultants, and academics. Whether you’re an individual practitioner or represent a large financial institution, there is a place for you in our coalition.

CAFC hosts a robust calendar of industry events designed to keep AFC professionals informed, connected, and equipped with the latest strategies. Our events include high-impact conferences, roundtable discussions, webinars, and networking workshops, all focused on current and emerging financial crime challenges. These gatherings provide direct access to key decision-makers, regulators, and thought leaders shaping the future of financial crime prevention.

A public-private partnership (PPP) in the context of financial crime refers to structured collaboration between government entities such as law enforcement and regulatory agencies, and private sector organizations like banks and fintech companies. CAFC facilitates these partnerships because financial crime is too complex and far-reaching for any single sector to address alone. By pooling data, intelligence, and expertise across sectors, we dramatically improve detection rates, prevention strategies, and prosecutorial outcomes.

CAFC actively engages with policymakers, regulators, and industry leaders aat the local, national, and international levels. We advocate for legislation and regulatory frameworks that strengthen the detection, prevention, and prosecution of financial crimes. Our policy efforts are informed by real-world practitioner input and cutting-edge research, ensuring that the recommendations we bring to the table are both practical and impactful.

Yes. Research is a core pillar of CAFC’s work. We explore topics including the efficacy of current AML and AFC practices, the role of emerging technologies such as AI in financial crime detection, and the evolving tactics used by criminal networks. Our research findings directly inform our policy recommendations, educational programs, and member resources, keeping our community ahead of the curve.

Information sharing is at the heart of everything we do. CAFC provides a streamlined platform where AFC stakeholders can openly exchange intelligence, case studies, best practices, and emerging threat data. By removing bureaucratic barriers and operating free from political influence, we enable the kind of frank, productive dialogue that leads to real results in combating financial crime.

No. CAFC is an apolitical organization. We operate independently of any government agency, political party, or advocacy group with a partisan agenda. While we collaborate actively with state, local, federal, and international stakeholders, our coalition remains strictly mission-focused, guided by the principles of integrity, transparency, and the shared goal of eradicating financial crime.
