4:00 – 7:00 PM
[Riley's Toronto](https://rileysrestaurant.ca/toronto/)
155 Wellington St W
Toronto, ON, M5V 3H1
Join top senior leaders from banking, insurance, and fintech for an intimate dinner on document fraud detection and KYC modernization, hosted by ABBYY, Resistant AI and Naviant at one of Toronto’s finest steakhouses.
### Why this conversation, why now
GenAI makes doctored documents look real, manual review can’t keep pace, and regulators are converging fraud, AML, and KYC into a single, defensible risk framework.
- U.S. financial services absorb **$5.75 in total cost for every $1 of fraud loss** (LexisNexis).
- Global fraud losses reached **$485.6 billion in 2023** (Nasdaq Verafin).
- Corporate KYC reviews now average **95 days**, up from 84 in 2022 (Fenergo).
Each problem traces back to the same root documents your teams can’t fully trust or process fast enough. That’s the conversation we’re bringing to Charlotte, over lunch, among peers with a focus on deep discussions.
### What you will take away
A working session, not a broadcast; three hours of candid discussion, live demos, and a hands-on masterclass with peers.
- **Document forensics, live.** See how ABBYY and Resistant AI catch forged documents earlier, cut false positives, and make decisions defensible.
- **A pKYC readiness check.** Walk through onboarding-to-remediation automation under AMLR and FATF guidance and raise the questions specific to your institution.
- **Your own automation shortlist.** A 60-minute AI/Agentic/Automation Value Creation Plan (AVCP) masterclass, built on a methodology that can surface over $1 million in project value. You leave with a scored shortlist to bring to your leadership team.
- **Peer perspective.** Networking woven through the session with leaders across the Charlotte area.
### Who you will be in the room with
A small group of senior leaders from mid-to-large banks, insurers, and scaled fintechs across the Charlotte region.
- **Chief Risk, Compliance, and Financial Crime Executives** - earlier detection, fewer false positives, a defensible control framework.
- **Heads of KYC and Onboarding Operations** - faster cycle times and less manual review, without compromising compliance quality.
- **CIOs and Enterprise Architecture Leaders** - a platform approach that reduces point-solution sprawl across risk and compliance.
- **Heads of Digital and Customer Experience** - controls embedded without friction in the onboarding journey.
If your responsibilities touch fraud loss, regulatory exposure, onboarding throughput, or the AI roadmap behind them, this table was set for you.
