SUMMARY:The cost of missing the signs: Addressing CSEA risk 
DESCRIPTION:Financial institutions - including payments providers\, crypto exchanges\, fintech’s\, and banks - play a critical role in preventing child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA)\, often without being fully aware of the influence they already hold. Following recent regulatory learnings\, this session brings together industry professionals to provide practical steps to ensure your organisation is equipped to identify risks\, strengthen controls\, and respond confidently.  \n\n\n\nWe will unpack the financial\, regulatory\, and reputational risks that can sit within everyday customer activity and demonstrate how finance professionals are uniquely positioned to disrupt and prevent harm from various areas across their company.   \n\n\n\nJoin us for our first Brown Bag of the year as we outline sector-specific actions financial services organisations can take to move beyond compliance and actively disrupt harm. You will leave with practical next steps and a clear view of how ICMEC Australia can work alongside your institution to build safer systems\, reduce risk\, and contribute to a stronger\, more responsible financial ecosystem.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYour speakers \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNick Kokay  \n\n\n\nHead of Compliance and MLRO\, Australia\, Coinbase  \n\n\n\nNick Kokay is the Head of Compliance and MLRO at Coinbase.

SUMMARY:Signals to action: Building a safety stack to disrupt child sexual exploitation and abuse 
DESCRIPTION:Our April Brown Bag builds on our upcoming Symposium theme - the evolution of a modern “safety stack” capable of preventing\, detecting\, and disrupting child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA) at scale. Bringing together two ICMEC Australia board members with senior experience in law enforcement and financial crime\, this session will explore how technical tools\, organisational culture and workforce capability are used to create a stronger response to fighting child sexual exploitation.  \n\n\n\nWith a particular focus on technology\, including AI‑enabled tools and digital platforms\, the conversation will explore how these capabilities can be used ethically and effectively in the fight against CSEA. The session will look at how emerging technologies are identifying risk earlier\, where their limitations lie\, and how collaboration between law enforcement and financial institutions helps ensure those signals translate into timely\, lawful disruption.  \n\n\n\nThe session will highlight real‑world lessons on ethical technology use\, cross‑sector escalation\, and what “effective disruption” looks like in practice - with a focus on preventing harm\, not just detecting or reporting it.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYour speakers \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDoug Boudry APM\, Non-Executive Director\, ICMEC Australia\n\n\n\nDoug Boudry is a consultant who specialises in the development of emerging technologies\, building strategies and helping to drive collaboration efforts across government\, academia\, private industry and the community.
