A NEW ERA OF FINANCIAL CRIME PREVENTION
SEPTEMBER 8–9, 2025 | FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF ATLANTA, GA
MORE THAN A CREDENTIAL,
IT’S A CALL TO LEAD.
Criminals are evolving. So must we. Exploitation through scams, trafficking, sextortion, and child abuse is growing at a scale never seen before. Financial systems are being used to harm people, not just profit from them. The Human Crime Specialist (HCS) Program is the first training experience built to change that.
The Knoble’s HCS Program is a leadership development experience designed to equip rising fraud, AML, and risk professionals to detect, prevent, and respond to Human Crime. Participants will help define the future of prevention while gaining the tools to lead change across their institutions.

Distinguished professionals from top banks, credit unions, and financial institutions will be selected to participate in this industry-first initiative.
The program begins with a two-day immersive kickoff at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, followed by five expert-led virtual sessions, including a final hybrid capstone presentation.
