Financial Crime Divide: Where DC Policy, Technology, and Compliance Collide
Where Policy Meets Practice
Washington writes the rules. Banks, fintechs, and compliance teams must make them work — often overnight. As sanctions expand, enforcement tightens, and initiatives like DARPA’s A3ML (Anticipatory and Adaptive Anti-Money Laundering) program emerge, the distance between policy goals and operational reality has never been more important to understand.
