ACi Banking Investigators Forum
2026-06-16 | Barclays, 2 Churchill Place, Canary Wharf, London, E14 5RB
Join us for the ACi 2026 Banking Forum, a premier gathering of investigation professionals, legal experts, and senior leaders from across the financial services sector.
Taking place at Barclays Bank in Canary Wharf, this full-day forum brings together practitioners from some of the world’s leading financial institutions to examine the most pressing challenges facing banking investigations today. Through keynote conversations, expert presentations, and candid panel debates, delegates will explore how investigation functions are adapting to an environment of growing complexity, technological disruption, and evolving regulatory expectations.
This year’s agenda tackles the issues that matter most to the profession: designing investigation structures that can scale, integrating AI tools without sacrificing human judgment, navigating legal privilege, managing high-profile and sensitive cases in the public eye, and maintaining rigorous standards as the global enforcement landscape shifts. With speakers drawn from institutions including Lloyds Banking Group, NatWest, Citi, Morgan Stanley, and Wells Fargo, alongside leading KCs and independent experts, the forum offers a rare opportunity to benchmark practice, share hard-won experience, and engage in the kind of frank, peer-to-peer dialogue that drives real professional development.
Whether you lead an investigations team, advise on financial crime, or shape policy and governance, the ACi 2026 Banking Forum is the essential event for anyone serious about the future of banking investigations.
Date: 16 June 2026 Venue: Barclays, 1 Churchill Place E14 5HP

Regulatory Investigations Workshop
2026-06-17 08:00 - 17:00 (Europe/London) | Credit Agricole CIB, Broadwalk House, 5 Appold St, London, EC2A 2DA, United Kingdom
Master the Complexities of UK Financial Services Regulatory Investigations
A Collaboration Between ACi and Leading Industry Experts, Richardson Lissak LLP and FTI Consulting.

Register

Almost a decade after the introduction of the Senior Managers & Certification Regime (SMCR) and Conduct Rules, financial services organisations continue to face significant challenges in implementing and reporting on these critical aspects of conduct regulation. The FCA is strengthening and expanding regulations for non-bank firms and its Conduct Rules to explicitly cover serious non-financial misconduct, including bullying, harassment, and sexual violence—as a breach of conduct.
But other sectors are also impacted. Regulation underpins and impacts almost all areas of the UK economy. The UK regulatory system has great strengths, built on a firm foundation of operational independence and stability, and other countries have drawn lessons from UK approaches.
In this special workshop, led by the ACi, Richardson Lissak and FTI Consulting, we will explore all the issues and challenges around regulatory investigations, and give delegates practical tips and insightful tools to take away.

ACi Commodities Trading Investigations Forum
2026-09-17 12:00 - 19:30 | Schellenberg Wittmer, 15bis rue des Alpes, Geneva 1, Switzerland
A trading firm is suddenly confronted with a fast‑moving compliance crisis. Regulators are asking questions, key decisions must be made under pressure, and critical facts are buried across emails, chats, company documents, the internet and third‑party records. The clock is running: preserve data, protect privilege, stabilize stakeholders, and rapidly understand what happened – being AI-assisted – before public misinformation and possible regulatory actions fill the gaps.
In this forum, we will walk through a realistic, end‑to‑end investigation journey – from “first hour” triage and governance, to AI‑assisted OSINT and rapid document review, to a live internal Subject witness interview and the boardroom decisions that follow. Expect interactive, scenario‑driven sessions showcasing practical resources, decision frameworks, and options you can apply immediately in commodities trading investigations.

ACi Transport and Logistics Investigations Forum
2026-11-18 14:00 - 17:30 | Weightmans, The Hallmark Building, 105 Fenchurch Street, London, EC3M 5JG, United Kingdom
The transport and logistics sector sits at the intersection of some of the most demanding and fast-moving regulatory environments in UK industry. Operators, investigators and compliance professionals face a landscape shaped by the Traffic Commissioner regime, the Health & Safety Executive, law enforcement, employment law, and an evolving patchwork of fraud prevention and anti-money laundering obligations, often all at once, and often following a single incident.
Whether you’re investigating a fatal road traffic collision, navigating an operator licence review, responding to a whistleblowing disclosure, or trying to get ahead of supply chain fraud risk, the pressures are real and the stakes are high. This Forum is designed specifically for the professionals doing that work.
About the Forum
This half-day ACi forum, kindly hosted by Weightmans, brings together investigators, compliance leads, legal professionals and industry figures for an afternoon of candid discussion, practical insight, and genuine peer connection.
There will be plenty of time for questions, and the evening closes with networking drinks so that conversations in can continue a more relaxed setting.
What’s on the Agenda

Opening keynote: a fireside conversation on evidence, decision-making and the regulatory landscape
Supply chain fragility and the evolving regulatory landscape: regulatory risk, failure to prevent fraud, and money laundering in the supply chain
One Incident, Three Regulators: a case study tracing a fatal transport incident through internal investigation, police and HSE intervention, legal professional privilege, and Traffic Commissioner proceedings
Who’s Behind the Wheel: a panel asking whether the industry is setting drivers up to fail, covering whistleblowing, driver welfare, technology, and the link between workplace stress and misconduct. Click here for the agenda

Who Should Attend
If your work touches transport compliance, driver conduct, supply chain integrity or regulatory enforcement, you’ll find the afternoon directly relevant. This forum brings together corporate investigators, fleet and compliance managers, legal and regulatory professionals, HR teams working in logistics, and risk and insurance specialists, all grappling with the same complex, high-stakes environment.
Equally importantly, you’ll be in a room full of peers who understand the specific pressures of this industry. That’s often worth as much as the agenda itself.
Practical Details
