A special note of appreciation to our Keynote Speaker, Ms. HO Hern Shin, Assistant Managing Director, Banking and Insurance, Monetary Authority of Singapore for opening our Conference with her Keynote Address, and sharing the latest AML challenges as well as supervisory efforts in Singapore.

The regulatory expectations upon the financial and non-financial community continue to grow and expand.

The conference participants gathered at the Marina Bay Sands hotel for a two-day conference to learn about the most recent regulatory developments from various regulators, lesson learned from FATF/APG mutual evaluations, thought leadership from senior AML executives on emerging trends and threats, such as cryptocurrencies, TBML, and illicit money flows as well as the next steps necessary to adapt our training requirements for the next generation of compliance professionals.
