Global compliance challenges in 2026: What you need to know for the year ahead

Thursday 15th January | The global regulatory landscape entered 2026 with significant change underway. Across APAC, Europe, North America and emerging markets, governments are tightening rules on data protection, cryptocurrency, AML/CTF, cyber security, ESG reporting and human rights.

With major developments affecting sanctions, Syria, proliferation financing and the US war on drugs, compliance teams need to prepare for new cross-border risks, heightened enforcement and a more complex international environment.

In this webinar, we took you through the most important global compliance trends shaping 2026. From new data protection laws in Asia and India’s forthcoming Digital India Act, to Australia’s landmark Tranche 2 AML reforms and Hong Kong and Singapore’s cyber security changes, we explained what organisations should focus on in the year ahead. We also explored regulatory acceleration in the United States, including SEC climate disclosures, crypto rules, and a tougher sanctions posture.
