Know Your Agent (KYA) is gaining momentum across the industry, but there’s real confusion between the reality and the hype.

When an AI agent acts, you need to know who stands behind it: the person or business that built, deployed and authorised it. That’s who you’re really dealing with, and why KYA builds on the checks you already run: KYC for people, KYB for businesses.

Regulators are starting to move:

• In April and May 2026, APRA, ASIC and the Five Eyes cyber agencies flagged that agent deployments are outpacing governance, and that identity controls designed for people don’t work for agents.

• AUSTRAC’s Tranche 2 brings around 90,000 professionals into the AML/CTF regime. Many are running due diligence for the first time, just as their teams start handling work to agents.

• In Singapore, MAS has accepted an AstraSync joint submission with a multi-jurisdiction regulated exchange as a reference implementation of its SAFR framework.

Agent governance is on its way to becoming a regulatory expectation. This session will help you get ready before it arrives.

What you’ll learn from our experts:

• A five-question KYA test built on frameworks you already work with: KYC, KYB, CDD, KYT and the Travel Rule.

• How to produce the evidence regulators will ask for from day one, with examples from a live deployment.

• How to size the governance part of your 2027 AI budget so it survives the next regulatory letter.
