AML Compliance Conference
Croke Park is also the venue for Ireland’s largest ever conference focusing on money laundering, on June 26 and 27.
In Association with
Criminal Assets Bureau head Detective Chief Superintendent Patrick Clavin will be among those addressing the conference, along with national and international compliance and anti-money laundering (AML) experts from banks and financial institutions around the globe.
The conference, titled AML Compliances, Challenges, and Solutions in Ireland’, will include hands-on workshops and plenary sessions for Irish compliance professionals on the latest methods and techniques in identifying money laundering, human trafficking and fraud.
Compliance Ireland chief executive Joseph Shannon commented: "Money laundering is an increasingly important global issue for banks, financial institutions and police forces as it is the main source of funding for terrorist organisations and international criminal gangs and facilitates human trafficking and drug smuggling.
“The EU has issued a number of AML directives which give banks and financial institutions a wide range of new roles and responsibilities in tackling money laundering. Our conference will seek to provide Irish compliance professionals with the skills and insights they need to identify this kind of illegal activity.’’
