Abstract
Cases of money laundering have drastically increased over the past years. Because of the growing concern about this activity, a number of initiatives have been deployed at the international level. As part of the robust enforcement actions to end financial crimes, authorities have required financial institutions to establish anti-money laundering (AML) compliance programs that will detect and prevent illegal activities. However, setting up these precautions leads to another set of challenges.
To avoid risks while ensuring compliance, financial institutions must be aware of the recent trends and updates surrounding this area of law and develop an efficient and effective AML compliance program.
In this live webcast, a panel of thought leaders and professionals will provide the audience with an in-depth discussion of the regulatory issues concerning AML compliance programs. Speakers will also present the existing penalties, best compliance strategies, and practical tips on how to mitigate the risks surrounding this significant topic.
Key topics include:
- AML Compliance Programs – Recent Enforcement Trends You Need to Know
- AML Compliance Programs Requirements
- Notable Cases and Issues
- AML Penalties and Red Flags
- Compliance Tips and Strategies
- What Lies Ahead
