Since the promulgation of the US Patriot Act, the extent of US economic sanctions have been expanded by the implementation of the AML Law. Current requirements and regulations bolstered existing compliance obligations, and imposed new ones on previously unregulated industries. Financial institutions have been required to update their policies and procedures to adapt to the new regulations. Strict compliance must be observed otherwise, the danger of non-compliance could be tremendous.
The Knowledge Congress is producing a follow up to its highly successful webinar held in May. To help enlighten the public, a panel of distinguished professionals and key regulators will present their expert opinions in a two-hour webcast.
