Meet the Compliance Specialist Webcast with Alexandra Sciberras

Malta may have a small population, but it plays an outsized role in European financial services. The International Monetary Fund has highlighted the country’s robust economic performance, underpinned by sound macroeconomic management and one of the highest growth rates in Europe.

In this live conversation webinar, Alexandra Sciberras will share her frontline experience of leading financial crime and compliance frameworks within Malta’s banking sector. The session will explore how Malta’s compliance landscape has evolved, the lessons learned from its period on the FATF grey list, and what the future holds as Europe strengthens its approach to anti‑money laundering supervision.

This event also celebrates alumni excellence. Alexandra is a Bangor University graduate and was awarded Best Overall Student in the December 2025 cohort of the Financial Crime and Compliance MBA.

What the webinar will cover

  • Malta’s history of financial crime compliance, including its time on the FATF grey list
  • The establishment of the EU Anti‑Money Laundering Authority and its implications for Maltese banks
  • Preparations for intensive regulatory scrutiny under the EU’s evolving AML framework
  • The impact of technology on data quality and data volume in financial crime compliance
