Pacific AML/CFT Webinar Series
The Pacific AML/CFT Webinar series is designed to provide a balanced, practical view of the state of AML/CFT in the Pacific Region, with particular focus on trade-based money laundering.
The Pacific AML/CFT Webinar series explored a range of issues relevant to the region around Financial Crimes Compliance, including the state of collaborative public/private efforts to combat trade-based money laundering and terrorism financing. Each 90-minute session started with a brief context-setting keynote, followed by a moderated panel discussion and a Q& A session allowing delegates to engage in the discussion. The webinar series also included case studies highlighting notable learnings and successes in AML/CFT from the regulatory, industry and intelligence/investigative perspective.
