Seminar Description
“Follow the money” with retired New York State Police Money Laundering Investigator, Kevin Sullivan, CAMS, as your guide. Get an aerial view of how the interlocking processes, regulations, policies, and procedures of financial institutions, businesses, government agencies, law enforcement, regulators, etc work in tandem to impact and influence money laundering and money laundering investigations. This big picture view offers insight into the importance of your organization’s AML policies and procedures and provides clarity on how that reduces risk to your organization and the global economy.

We’ll promote that culture of compliance through application of best practice guidelines of procedures such as due diligence, transaction monitoring, and reporting. We’ll emphasize the impact and influence AML programs have on internal and external investigative units and discuss the tools and techniques of those units. We’ll finish with how AML information is accessed and utilized by law enforcement to work in tandem with institutions in the prevention of financial crimes and terrorist activity.
