Money Laundering in Canada Conference 2011

Raising the Bar in Compliance Management

About Business Crime Solutions Inc. is pleased to be returning to Victoria to bring you the ninth annual Money Laundering in Canada Conference. The theme of this year’s event is Raising the Bar in Compliance Management.

Global money laundering and terrorist financing control involves complex and broad-based requirements and applications. Canadian expectations have continued to grow and diversify in response to the increasing number of business sectors covered by our legislation and the different criminal activities now identified as money laundering offences.

Skilled compliance officers are challenged by the dynamic nature of our legislation, its application, and its regulations. As a result, the experienced compliance officer must elevate their knowledge and practices to greater levels of detail within a regulator-required, company- wide standardization of application --- a real challenge at the best of times.

At the same time, new individuals are being drawn into the world of AML/CTF compliance. Their path to compliance competency requires a period of time to learn the basics before moving on to the details of complexity, its application, and maintenance. Compliance officer educators cannot lose sight of the importance of a solid foundation for those new to the field.

As a result, the agenda for the Money Laundering in Canada 2011 conference will address both groups separately as well as collectively through sessions of common interest. ABCsolutions’ commitment to providing current and informative educational opportunities for compliance professionals continues. This October, plan to travel to beautiful Victoria, British Columbia and stay at the Fairmont Empress Hotel while attending this year’s event, once again being held at the Victoria Conference and Convention Centre. In 2011, the agenda will include 15 workshops ranging in length from 60 to 75 min
