BSA/AML Reform
The Financial Crime Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is continuously expanding its efforts to streamline, modernize, and update anti-money laundering (AML) and anti-terrorism financing regulations. Several developments in this area involve the proposed rulemaking for the Corporate Transparency Act’s (CTA) beneficial ownership, sharing of threat patterns and trend information, and proposed amendments to the antiquities trade. Moreover, the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 (AMLA) significantly increases the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) requirements, thus posing numerous compliance hurdles for financial institutions.
To keep pace with the evolving regulatory landscape, financial institutions and other businesses concerned should stay in the loop with any developments in this field to avoid noncompliance.
Listen as finance lawyer Dennis Miralis and financial services industry expert Jesus Ornelas provide the audience with a comprehensive discussion of the recent BSA/AML enforcement trends and developments. Speakers, among other things, will also offer practical tips and compliance strategies in this ever-changing regulatory landscape.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
