TCI's Anti-Money Laundering, Fraud & Financial Crime Conference 2016

Financial crime is of increasing concern to most financial services institutions in SA  

In a recent IOL article; The Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC) confirmed recent warnings by accounting firm PwC that incidents of financial crime and suspicious transactions , including tax-related crime, fraud and money laundering are on the increase in South Africa.

PwC also placed a firm warning to corporate businesses that financial crime  was not only growing locally but that globally "financial institutions are also facing a sever financial crime expertise talent shortage" and that most organisations lacked enough skilled people to detect financial crime.

The South African Reserve Bank recently imposed fines ammounting to over thirty million rand on non-compliant banks for weaknesses in the banks control measures which has triggered the SA banking industry to review their own anti-money laundering controls.

There has been no better time to attend a leading industry forum such as the Anti-Money Laundering, Fraud & Financial Crime Conference to  engage with thought leadership from a number of leading firms in SA who will be discussing best practices in the fight against financial crime and steer your organisation into a fully compliant trajectory.
