AIF said with the threats of financial crime continuing to evolve at an alarming speed, regulators, governments and other international bodies expect financial institutions (FIs) to build structures and processes to ensure the integrity of the financial system.

Maslamani said the topics are to provide an outlook to participants and anti-money laundering/counter financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) practitioners.
“The conference will assemble international experts and industry specialists to provide insight on current and future criminal threats as well as specify plans and strategies for compliance professionals to respond quickly and effectively to these threats.”
AIF CEO, Dr Raymond Madden said following the success of IFCTF for the last eight years, we expect to draw more than 500 delegates this year including senior compliance professionals from regional and global banks and other financial institutions.”
