Seminar: “AML Program Breakdown: Dissection of Real Life AML/TF Enforcement Cases”
Get rid of the great-recession-thinking and position your institution for an AML enforcement shift! Recent penalties and forfeitures are sending a strong message to financial institutions that the U.S. government is vigorously investigating and, in some instances, prosecuting financial institutions that provide safe harbor to criminals. In this full-day seminar, we will skip the theory and dive right into several real life money laundering and terrorist financing cases, including the Wachovia Case, the HSBC case, Madoff and Stanford case, and more. We will also discuss terror charity cases and how they were able to transfer money from the U.S to the Taliban using bank accounts and wire transfers. We will dissect these cases using step-by-step explanations, comparison charts, and show diagrams with dirty money flows. We’ll explain what got the banks into trouble with their regulators, department of Justice or made them subject to costly class action law suits.
Discounts are available for 3 or more attendees and government employees. Call us at 305-428-0959 or click here to send us a message.
In this seminar you will learn:
- Detailed timelines of missteps by the banks and how the case unraveled
- What red flags were missed related to transfers from Mexican Casas de Cambio
- How OFAC designated proliferators of WMD used a complex web of front companies and deceived U.S. banks into processing wire payments
- What were the points of criticism from the regulators on different parts of the AML program
- Liability for financial institutions: What did you know and when did you know it?
- What you can learn from these cases and how to avoid the same missteps
The Seminar has a blended instructional format: We will have instructor-led presentations from well-known experts, offer hands-on, practical “roundtable” sessions, and an interactive “AML Quiz” that puts your knowledge to the test.
