About the Conference

This International Conference on Financial Crime and Terrorism Financing 2010, is a public sector collaboration organized by the Compliance Officers Networking Group and Institute of Bankers Malaysia jointly with Security Industry Development Corporation, Malaysian Insurance Institute and supported by Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU).

In recent years, worldwide efforts to combat money laundering and the financing of terrorism have assumed heightened importance. Both are global problems that threaten security, compromise stability, transparency and efficiency of financial systems, thus undermining economic prosperity.

The global agenda to curb money laundering and financing of terrorism calls for a cooperative approach among many different international bodies and market participants. Efforts to establish international standards are effectively led by Financial Action Task Force (FATF). FIU of BNM, working with the National Coordination Committee establishes and implements the necessary framework for regulators, enforcement agencies and market participants for compliance with the FATF recommendations.

Practical day-to-day challenges of implementing measures to counter money laundering and terrorism on the ground are the focus of this conference where an elite panel of speakers comprising leading regulators, academics, consultants and practitioners will be deliberating on the key issues and challenges facing us.

This is a golden opportunity for participants to learn and gain insights on current money laundering and terrorism trends and sneak preview of future regulatory developments via many key topics lined up for presentations and discussion by the renowned speakers and leading experts.
