Event Synopsis:
Money laundering and terrorist's financial activities have wreaked havoc on the global financial system. As more sophisticated and new modalities are used to execute complex money laundering schemes to help fund terrorists, finance directors and compliance officers will need to work closely with the organization’s governing board and corporate counsel to plug up any leaks which could open the door to illicit activity.
In a two-hour Live webcast assembled by the Knowledge Group, a panel of AML/CTF specialists and thought leaders will discuss the latest money laundering and terrorist financing trends and typologies in banking and finance. In addition to a walk through on AML/CTF regulations, the speakers will offer valuable insights on how to apply international best practices and develop effective strategic tools in strengthening your risk reduction process to prevent the catastrophic impact of money laundering and terrorist financing.

About the Center for National Policy
The Center for National Policy is an independent think tank dedicated to advancing the economic and national security of the United States. We bring together thought leaders and decision makers who are focused on the revitalization of our economy for the benefit of all Americans and the strengthening of the values of human rights and democracy at home and across the globe.
We live in a time when the United States and the American people have been pressed by global economic competition, rocked by systemic financial shocks and challenged by complex international crisis.
Now more than ever, thought leaders and decision makers need strong policy concepts and timely insights into important economic and national security issues delivered clearly and concisely. Leaders standing up for those left behind by globalization and who speak to the continuing role America must play to promote democracy and human rights across the globe, need a place to highlight their good ideas and engage with thought leaders and decision makers across the current partisan divide. That place is the Center for National Policy.
