On Fighting Evil: AFC vs. Human Trafficking and Modern-Day Slavery

  • When: May 20, 2020
  • Time: 12PM – 2PM ET
  • Level: All

Migrant smuggling, forced labor and captive sex workers: All are examples of the horrific financial crime of human trafficking. The International Labor Organization estimates human trafficking generates $150 billion annually worldwide — money that must be laundered. That puts anti-financial crime (AFC) specialists at the forefront of fighting these crimes, along with ACAMS, for whom battling human trafficking is a core corporate mission. Our panelists detail common financial typologies of traffickers, and analyze tools for combating them, including data-driven monitoring and partnering with law enforcement and NGOs.

Learning Objectives

  • Examining current human trafficking trends to enhance monitoring systems and data analytics to strengthen red flag detection and resolution
  • Reviewing relevant NGOs such as Stand Against Human Trafficking and Project Protect to enrich institutional knowledge and facilitate staff awareness training
