Fighting Financial Crime in the Digital Era - Moderated by Dr Ralph Wyss
Dr Ralph Wyss
Partner, Deloitte

Swiss Banking Regulations and Governance have been a part of my professional life for 25 years. I served as founding director, board member, managing director and liquidator of Swiss banks. I can speak about and advice on Forensic investigations, Anti-Money-Laundering (AML), Countering the Financing of Terrorism (CFT), Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption (ABAC), Know Your Customer (KYT), Know Your Transactions (KYT), Target Operating Models for Compliance, Governance in Financial Institutions, a broad range of regulatory topics, Fintech, Regtech, and other related areas.
Together with a small group of experts I also founded a legal commentary on the Swiss AML Act in 2003. The 3rd edition was published in German and English in 2019.
As a former amateur software developer I‘m also excited about the opportunities we have in supporting business with data analytics and I‘m a strong believer in artificial intelligence.
Besides banking I have done a broad range of legal work in various industries including publishing, advertising, industrial products, commodities and IT.
My over 30 years of military service gave me a good understanding of project and crisis management. I’m still serving as a Lead Analyst Officer in the Military Intelligence Services of the Swiss Army.

Using graph analytics to improve your existing fraud detection systems
- Sophisticated financial criminals are constantly changing their tactics. Existing detection systems, dependent on large AI-based training sets of historical data, may be good at catching low-value frauds but may struggle to pick up on the newest highest-risk approaches
- In that case, you need a system that gives seasoned fraud professionals an easy and quick way to visualize an actionable 360-degree view of the people, accounts, transactions, and communications of suspicious actors, so you can react before they take too much
- This talk will explore how the TigerGraph analytics platform with embedded ML and AI can help improve your current detection systems and gives you the ability for better investigations by increasing your ability to respond quicker to fraud.
