MIAMI, May 29 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) — In response to the unprecedented challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (ACAMS) will host its first-ever, 24-hour online summit offering training to financial crime compliance professionals from more than 70 subject-matter experts across the globe. Beginning June 2, 2020, attendees of the ACAMS24+ summitwill be able to livestream panels on the most urgent challenges facing financial crime compliance practitioners today, including emerging threats linked to COVID-19 fraud, the rise of professional money launderers and the evolving political landscape underpinning sanctions compliance.
“As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to disrupt our personal lives, banks and other firms are faced with the daunting task of fighting financial crime while serving clients whose lives—financial and otherwise—have been starkly altered by the virus,” said Rohit Sharma, president and managing director of ACAMS. “Never ones to miss an opportunity, criminals have also moved quickly to exploit shifting transactional patterns, emergency assistance programs and the vulnerabilities that arise from compliance teams working from home.”
