Money Laundering in Canada Conference 2012

A critical element of an effective compliance regime involves identifying the products and services that leave your organization vulnerable to money laundering and terrorist financing activities. Having an understanding of the sources and methods used in these activities will greatly assist in protecting your organization from being exploited.

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.

In 2012, the agenda includes 15 workshops and 4 plenary sessions. Scheduled topics include:

• Current trends & typologies in money laundering & organized crime

• Money laundering & fraud

• Enhancing KYC & due diligence requirements

• Tax crimes & money laundering

• Offshore financial centres

• Managing high-risk clients

• Law enforcement challenges in the AML/CTF arena

• Enhancing KYC & due diligence requirements
