ACAMS Australasian Chapter Virtual Event: Managing Financial Crime Risk 2022 | ACAMS | 24 August 2022 | Online

In New Zealand, we focus so much attention on AML/CFT compliance, while other financial crimes, such as fraud, tax evasion, sanctions breaches, bribery and corruption, are overlooked and often (incorrectly) absorbed into an AML/CFT Programme.

Our businesses are the facilitators - or worse, the victims - of these financial crimes on a daily basis. We could and should be asking the following questions:

• What obligations do we have to prevent and report crime outside of the AML/CFT Act?
• What are we doing to prevent criminals from using our businesses for their financial crimes?
• Can we be more effective in managing all financial crime risks?

This session will explain your legal responsibilities to prevent, manage and report financial crimes and provide a practical roadmap on how financial crime risk management frameworks should be implemented at an integrated level rather than in silos.

Learning objectives:

• Understanding of New Zealand’s regulatory landscape for preventing, managing and reporting financial crime
• Learning about the foundational principles for setting up an integrated financial crime risk management framework
• Sharing experiences from overseas

This Chapter event is focused on providing attendees an insightful session to support reporting entities in preventing financial crime in New Zealand.
