ACAMS 16th Annual AML & Financial Crime Conference

#ACAMSVegas will host a special presentation and Q&A with The Honorable Daniel L. Glaser, Principal, Financial Integrity Network

For more than a decade, the connections made at the ACAMS ANNUAL AML & FINANCIAL CRIME CONFERENCE have been crucial for bridging the communications gap between the private and public sectors. Establishing reliable alliances and resources have brought awareness to predict and prevent a host of financial crimes, a topic to be addressed at the ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas on Sept. 25–27, 2017.

"As we approach the 16th Annual ACAMS AML & Financial Crime Conference, you should expect the high-quality content and new career connections that ACAMS is known for," said John Byrne, Esq., CAMS, executive vice president at ACAMS. "The program balances essential peer networking, access to AML thought leaders, and the most up to date guidance available in the profession. Rest assured if the issue impacts your firm, agency or institution, ACAMS will address it."

#ACAMSVegas Conference is the most trusted meeting place for the AML/CTF/financial crime community and features the largest gathering of ACAMS members, CAMS-certified professionals and government officials. Opportunities to build connections with like-minded peers within the AML community will be available in niched groups, as well as in sessions for all participants during the course of the three-day conference.

The conference will also include panels led by more than 120 national leaders in banking, government and law enforcement, which tackle the leading AML issues head-on, with thought-provoking analysis and ideas that can be put to use, such as:

• "Insights on Oversight: A Regulatory Roundtable on AML Trends and Issues"
• "Racing to the Finish: Homestretch Strategies for Implementing the CDD Final Rule," which will focus on:
  • Developing and testing policies for determining beneficial owners and controlling persons to meet regulatory expectations
  • Formulating systems to collect and manage required client data and conduct event-triggered risk reviews as warranted
  • Training onboarding personnel and relationship managers on CDD Final Rule to attain enterprise-wide awareness of new standards, practices and policies
• "Culture Clash: Defending and Preserving Culture of Compliance Integrity in Sales-Driven Institutional Environments," which will serve:
  • as a platform with in-depth analysis of the contrasting demands AML officers face
