About this webinar

As fintech platforms, payment innovators, and virtual currency businesses continue to transform financial services, regulatory expectations surrounding anti-money laundering (AML) compliance are evolving just as rapidly. Businesses operating within these sectors face unique challenges in identifying customers, monitoring transactions, managing financial crime risks, and meeting increasingly complex reporting obligations. Failure to establish an effective compliance framework can expose organisations to significant regulatory, financial, and reputational consequences.

This webinar examines how AML obligations apply to fintech companies and virtual currency businesses under the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (PCMLTFA). Participants will gain practical insight into designing risk-based compliance programs, implementing effective controls, meeting reporting requirements, and preparing for regulatory examinations. The session also explores how FINTRAC assesses compliance programs and identifies common weaknesses encountered during regulatory reviews.

AML obligations under the PCMLTFA
Regulatory requirements for fintech businesses

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

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.
