    Flash Forward: AML’s New Normals

    ACAMS 8th Annual AML & Anti-Financial Crime Conference - Virtual Canada

     

    As 2020 continues its chaotic course, Canadian AML professionals must learn to navigate the choppy and murky waters of compliance post-pandemic - all while meeting new regulatory requirements and expectations.

     

    Join us Oct. 20-22, 2020 for a fully virtual experience and intensive analysis of Canada’s new AML landscape – whether it is innovations like FinTech and Artificial Intelligence or new typologies for financial crime. In addition, the country’s top AFC experts will dive into the complexities of challenges such as COVID-19 fraud scams, the FATF travel rule and PCMLTFA amendments.
