Download Key FindingsFrom pivotal elections to advances in artificial intelligence (AI) to heightened geopolitical tensions, the events of the past year have only amplified the challenges of fighting financial crime. Our Financial Crime Report, based on data from over 600 executives across the globe, provides insight to help leaders prepare for what’s next.
Executive Summary
By David Lewis and Thomas Bock
With AI-powered cybercrime disrupting businesses across industries and regulators imposing billion-dollar penalties for compliance failures, more than 70% of executives expect financial crime risk to increase in 2025—compared to 67% in 2023—yet only 23% believe their organization’s compliance program is “very effective” in combating it.
These are among the key takeaways from Kroll’s 2025 Financial Crime Report, which surveyed over 600 business leaders in the U.S., the UK, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. Respondents included CEOs, chief compliance officers, general counsel, and chief risk officers from leading financial services, accounting, insurance and legal services firms.
In addition to assessing financial crime expectations, concerns and readiness for the year ahead, the report examines how AI can fight—or enable—illicit activity and captures current sentiment around geopolitical threats, evolving regulations, supply chain risks and more.
