ACAMS 2nd Annual AML & Anti-Financial Crime Conference – Australasia is officially open for registration.
Expanding Horizons
2022 started off with a strong sense of global déjà vu. For AML and AFC professionals in Australasia, however, the end of 2021 and beginning of the new year brought plenty of change. The sanctions landscape kept evolving, with increased focus on cybercrime and new government measures that significantly widen the scope of Australian human rights sanctions legislation. Money launderers continue to adopt new technologies as quickly as they are developed, challenging financial institutions and law enforcement agencies to keep up.
For these reasons and more, the 2nd ACAMS AML & Anti-Financial Crime Conference–Australasia is a must-attend event for compliance professionals. ACAMS speakers and attendees are leaders in the financial services industry and experts in compliance and regulatory affairs. Don’t miss this opportunity to hone the knowledge and skills that are essential to an AML career.
*ACAMS members automatically receive up to 18 ACAMS credits for attending this event; 12 credits for the main conference, 6 credits for the pre-conference seminar. CAMS preparation seminars are complimentary with registration for the in-person event and purchase of the CAMS package. Attendees must register for the CAMS preparation seminar separately by emailing us at apac@acams.org.
