We are delighted to announce Will Fitzgibbon as our International Keynote Speaker for our AML conference – the AML Summit to be held at SKYCITY Hotel on 26 March 2019.

Will is well known for his work with the Panama and Paradise Papers and is a senior reporter with The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ).

ICIJ is a non-profit news organisation based in Washington DC.  Will coordinates ICIJ’s partnerships with journalists in Africa and the Middle East. Will has also reported on the West Africa and Swiss Leaks and conducted other investigations such as “Fatal Extraction”, a collaborative investigation with 15 African newsrooms of mining companies across the continent.

We look forward to welcoming Will to New Zealand to share his knowledge of global money laundering and how New Zealand forms an important part of the global AML/CFT framework.
