Subject-matter experts from the Egmont Group, GIABA, OFAC, and other organizations to address evolving AML and sanctions expectations for financial institutions<\/h4>\n

MIAMI, Nov. 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As part of its efforts to support anti-money laundering (AML) professionals and strengthen financial inclusion around the world, ACAMS will host a virtual training and networking event for its\u00a05th<\/sup>\u00a0Annual AML & Anti-Financial Crime Conference \u2013 Africa<\/i>. On November 7th<\/sup>, high-level anti-financial crime (AFC) experts from the Egmont Group, Inter-Governmental Action Group Against Money Laundering in West Africa (GIABA), U.S. Treasury Department, Compliance Institute Nigeria, and many of the region\u2019s largest banks, FinTech firms, crypto-asset platforms and other institutions will outline the latest AML and sanctions guidance for compliance professionals working in the region.<\/p>\n

The conference will also feature keynote remarks from sanctions compliance officers at the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and a special presentation and Q&A with Edwin W. Harris Jr., GIABA\u2019s newly appointed Director General.<\/p>\n

In addition to taking part in informal networking and professional-development sessions, attendees will learn strategies to strengthen collaboration among AFC stakeholders in the public and private sectors, manage risks associated with designated non-financial businesses and professions (DNFBPs), enhance cyber-hygiene and security for remote workers, and improve financial inclusion through technological solutions designed to mitigate Know Your Customer challenges, among other recommended compliance steps.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the Financial Action Task Force calling for more effective compliance and the Russian invasion of Ukraine driving a rise in AML and sanctions risks around the world, it\u2019s more important than ever that financial institutions in Africa stay apprised of emerging threats and the latest best practices to shield themselves from criminal abuse,\u201d said ACAMS CEO Scott Liles. \u201cThat\u2019s why the\u00a0ACAMS Africa Conference<\/i>\u00a0is designed to give attendees a platform to pose their most pressing compliance questions to the region\u2019s most knowledgeable experts.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether you\u2019re looking to more effectively monitor for signs of sanctions evasion, build an alliance between a brick-and-mortar bank and a FinTech company, or incorporate ESG controls into your AML frameworks, this event promises to deliver practical advice that can help shield your institution from monetary penalties and reputational harm,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Participants in the ACAMS Africa Conference will be able to livestream the event or view it on-demand for a 90-day period. Find out more about the conference\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
