Australia & Asia-Pacific compliance trends 2026 - The big shifts to prepare for

APAC compliance is entering its most disruptive year in a decade, and 2026 is set to reshape how organisations across the region manage financial crime, data, cyber, ESG and whistleblowing risk. In this episode, we bring you the audio from our expert webinar on the major regulatory shifts unfolding across Asia Pacific and what they mean for compliance teams. Our speakers break down Australia's Tranche 2 AML/CTF reforms and what it means for the tens of thousands of professional services firms being brought into scope. They explore the rapid rollout of new data and AI laws across Southeast Asia, tightening cyber requirements in Hong Kong and Singapore, and the growing wave of mandatory ESG disclosures in Japan and South Korea. The discussion also covers stepped-up anti-bribery enforcement, whistleblowing expectations, and stricter AML and licensing requirements for digital-asset firms. In this episode, you'll hear about: • Australia's Tranche 2 AML/CTF regime and AUSTRAC obligations • Vietnam's PDPL, India's Digital India Act and rising data penalties across Southeast Asia • Cyber and critical-infrastructure rules taking hold in Hong Kong and Singapore • Mandatory climate and supply-chain disclosures across Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand • Bribery, corruption and whistleblowing enforcement trends across the region • AML, KYC and licensing changes affecting crypto and fintech firms This episode is ideal for compliance managers, legal counsel, risk leaders and anyone working with APAC operations in financial services, professional services, tech, real estate or multinational supply chains who needs to prepare for the year ahead.
