Registration/Morning Coffee

9:00

The financing of terrorism and terrorists remain a critical, if sobering, issue for financial institutions, law enforcement officials, regulators, and, by extension, everyday Americans in the U.S. and abroad. In this session, you'll hear assessments of the new generation of terrorists and global trends relating to the financing of terrorism, including the dynamics of rapid change and evolution of operational methodologies. You'll also hear strategies for amending and modifying an existing AML program to handle CFT issues, and you'll learn how to prevent and detect possible terrorist financing operations through monitoring, detection, and reporting.

To ensure a lively and interactive workshop, participants will be encouraged to write down and submit questions (anonymous questions are fine), and hand them to the facilitator before each segment begins. At the end of each segment, the instructors will try to answer as many of these questions as possible.
