About The book
The Silverlocks Compass is a practical guide to AML governance in the age of AI, designed for directors, audit and risk committees, compliance leaders, and financial-crime professionals.
Drawing on the Indian regulatory environment, including the PMLA and FIU-IND framework, the book explores how AI, financial crime, risk management, technology, and corporate governance are reshaping AML.
At its heart is the Goldilocks principle of proportion—finding the right balance between controls that are too weak and those that are unnecessarily excessive, while ensuring AML frameworks remain effective and risk-appropriate.
