IIR will sponsor the upcoming "AMLAC" at the Plaza Hotel in New York.
Now in it's 14th year, the AMLAC Forum will highlight the enormous changes to compliance since the Patriot Act was passed in October 2001.
Come September, three years will have passed since 9/11 and regulators in the U.S. and around the world continue to strengthen the laws that are designed to stop money launderers including those individuals and organizations involved in terrorist finance.
How does the AMLAC Forum help? While most banks and broker/dealers no longer require "AML 101", other organizations are new to these programs. So for 2004, the AMLAC forum offers customized education in order to meet different levels of sophistication and different needs. With sessions specifically tailored for insurance companies, hedge funds, small institutions, foreign banks and retail vs. institutional, every person attending this conference will benefit. Our distinguished faculty includes forty industry practitioners, regulators and enforcement agents - all ensuring you receive the best possible data available.
