Overview:

The damaging effects of money laundering continue to be a global threat today. Not only do they pose risks to economic stability and the overall financial system, but they also constitute significant threats to national security.

At the heart of this fight against money laundering and other crimes linked to it is – compliance. With the intensified global efforts that are being geared towards bolstering AML enforcement, the call to devise an all-encompassing compliance program becomes more important now than ever.

Listen as a distinguished panel of thought leaders and professionals brought together by The Knowledge Group provide the audience with an in-depth discussion of the recent and emerging developments in BSA/AML enforcement.
