This conference aims to provide a comprehensive review into the Caribbean AML landscape:During our May 2021 AML webinar events we discussed at high level Where We Are & Next Steps and The Impact of Technology on AML Compliance based on some of key risk drivers in the region.

What makes AML a challenge for many businesses today is the complexity of data, technology (artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms), detailed workflows, and significant human involvement. During this Conference, we aim to provide a deep dive into critical areas where important issues are identified and where the volume of investigations are focused on most AML processes:
  1. Risk Assessment Approach - threat tiers based on the evaluation of the risk they pose plus due diligence process.
  2. Policy Management - develop and implement internal guidelines regarding ML/TF risks and maintain regulatory compliance.
  3. Country Risk Assessment - models developed by BDO, including the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF), the FATF guidance and views expressed in consultation with key stakeholders of the Eastern Caribbean's AML/CFT regime.
  4. Source of Wealth/Funds – factors determining the legitimacy of a client's source of funds and source of wealth.
  5. China Challenges – Specific AML risks and concerns when dealing with Chinese clients.
  6. Combatting Human Trafficking and Trade-Based Money Laundering (TBML) across the Caribbean.
  7. AML System Verification, Validation & Monitoring
  8. Cyber Security & Data Privacy
  9. Assessing AML Technology (Auditing)
