The Financial Action Task Force ("FATF"), an intergovernmental organization, recommends certain AML/CFT requirements that should be carried out by DNFBP since they might also be inappropriately used for money laundering by criminals. What are the upcoming regulatory expectations and proposed changes on AML/CFT? How would the regulatory changes affect accountants? How should accountants prepare to cope with the regulatory expectations? This seminar is aiming to provide you an insight of the expected AML/CFT requirements and share the controls considered to be carried out by DNFBP, and how it will affect the daily operations of the accounting firms.
