GACO Risk on the Rock - Beyond the Obvious: Introducing Our First Keynote Speaker

We are thrilled to announce our first speaker for the GACO 2026 Masterflag Event on 16th September 2026.

To help us look "beyond the obvious" of modern compliance, we are bringing you one of the most prominent voices in financial journalism today: Oliver Bullough.

Oliver is a world-renowned author and journalist from Wales who specialises in writing about the shadowy world of global financial crime. He is the acclaimed author of Moneyland and Butler to the World (both published by Profile Books), and previously wrote The Last Man in Russia and Let Our Fame Be Great (published by Penguin).

His latest book, Everybody Loves Our Dollars: How Money Laundering Won (published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson in January 2026), is a Sunday Times bestseller that takes a hard, forensic look at the systemic failures of the global anti-money laundering (AML) regime. 

In a world where standard compliance can sometimes feel like a box-ticking exercise, Oliver will challenge us to look deeper, think bigger, and see what is truly happening beneath the surface of global capital flows.

Don't miss out on this headliner. Spaces are limited for our flagship biennial event. Block the afternoon of the 16th September 2026 in your calendar. Further details will follow in the coming weeks.
