U.S. corporate masks hiding dirty money, mortgage fraud, the regulatory “look-back” rage, and customer privacy are among 26 panels at The moneylaundering.com and Money Laundering Alert International Conference and Exhibition
A worldwide audience of 1,500 compliance officials, financial institution executives, law enforcement agents, regulatory officials, money services executives, lawyers, and consultants are flocking to South Florida to attend The moneylaundering.com and Money Laundering Alert 12th Annual International Conference and Exhibition.
The world’s largest money laundering conference will host 51 top experts who will guide the huge gathering on a range of hot button money laundering issues in 26 panels from March 19 to 21, 2007. The experts include top anti-money laundering experts, regulators, prosecutors, and law enforcement agents. (The print brochure is enclosed or is available through this link in an interactive electronic format.)
Former banker who was convicted will speak
Another speaker is Lucy Edwards, the former Bank of New York vice-president who recently completed a U.S. federal sentence after pleading guilty to conspiracy to launder money in the scandal that involved more than $7 billion in Russian funds of dubious origin.
United States corporations as laundering tools
The opening conference panel at the spectacular Westin Diplomat Resort & Spa on Monday, March 19 focuses on “limited liability” corporations formed in the United States that serve as convenient vehicles for state-of-the-art money laundering. Their intricate secrecy rules and tangled layers of stockholders and subsidiaries were exposed last year by a U.S. Senate investigation.
Panels will also deal with such hot money laundering topics as the new regulatory habit of requiring financial institutions to conduct “look-backs” to address perceived weaknesses in money laundering controls and how the political shift signaled by the new U.S. Congress provides a good forecasting barometer of future regulatory heat for financial institutions.
Exhibition Hall with 65 exhibitors
The conference also offers a 24,000 square feet Exhibition Hall where the attendees may examine under one roof the largest array of anti-money laundering software, professional services and other tools offered in the growing anti-money laundering marketplace. More than 65 companies and firms will sponsor events and discuss their offerings at their Exhibition Hall booths.
Lively audience-participation format
The conference — sponsored by moneylaundering.com and the Money Laundering Alert — is built around a lively audience-participation format. Expert moderators pose their own questions to the panelists and solicit a free flow of questions from attendees during the sessions. The conference provides free simultaneous English-to-Spanish translation for all sessions, including more than a dozen concurrent sessions.
The conference venue, the Westin Diplomat Resort & Spa, is a world-class hotel and convention facility located 15 minutes away from the Ft. Lauderdale International Airport and 35 minutes from the Miami International Airport.
