The Law Society of NSW is pleased to deliver this recorded webinar complimentary to the legal profession, featuring a panel discussion on anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF).
In this recorded webinar, our panel of AML experts discuss how solicitors can find out whether they will be captured by the AML reforms, how to carry out risk assessments, what red flags are, and what suspicious activity can look like, how the reforms interact with legal privilege, and what solicitors should start thinking about now to ensure they are more easily able to comply with the legislation. It also covers who can be an AML/CTF Compliance Officer, customer due diligence, and how solicitors can assess the use of existing practice management systems to undertake AML compliance, or whether investment in other technology may be required. The panel also discuss the United Kingdom and New Zealand experience with AML, and what Australian solicitors should think about when considering compliance with the AML regime. This recorded webinar is suitable for a range of audiences, from early career lawyers, staff who will need to engage with the day-to-day management of AML/CTF compliance, to senior lawyers and principal practitioners. |
