In this age of innovation for AML, anti-financial crime professionals must keep up with artificial

intelligence, data analytics, machine learning, and more, because as evidenced by growing

incidents of cybercrime, ransomware attacks and synthetic identity theft, financial criminals are

mastering innovation as well. The Hollywood, FL 25th Anniversary Conference on April 20-22,

2020 provides the tools to fight this stark reality, while also tackling growing challenges such as

virtual currencies, sanctions, Dark Web drug trafficking and domestic terrorism.

Sunday

9:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Key Areas Covered

Who Should Attend

Filing SARs is a cornerstone of successful AFC programs, but compliance professionals often know much

less about what comes after that. In this interactive workshop, our experts will take attendees through the

many paths a SAR may take— from editing the narrative to working with law enforcement following up on

the lead. Group exercises may include everything from simulating depositions to assuming the role of

grand juror considering evidence. Join this comprehensive and expert-led workshop to follow the paths of

SARs as they play their lead role in the AFC universe.

• Standardizing SAR protocols in areas such as alert responses, investigation/documentation and filing

decision-making to ensure clarity and quality of narratives

• Analyzing law enforcement SAR review procedures to gain insights into issues such as requests for

more information, data omissions and setting collaboration rules

• Simulating escalation of SAR by law enforcement to outline prosecutorial processes such as depositions,

grand jury testimony and trial proceedings

• Compliance Team Leaders

• FIU Personnel

• Legal Advisors

• Risk Management Officer

Pathway of the SARs: Tracking Trajectories of Suspicious Activity Reports from Alerts to Prosecution

Sunday

April 19, 2020

1:00 PM – 4:00 PM

Key Areas Covered

Who Should Attend

With a potency of up to 100 times that of morphine, the fentanyl epidemic is claiming tens of thousands of

American lives annually — generating billions of dollars in illicit proceeds that need to be laundered. But

this drug epidemic is unlike its predecessors, with the transactions often being conducted via Dark Web

marketplaces, paid for with anonymity-cloaked virtual currencies and delivery made not through street

sales but, in many cases, direct to the user’s door. The result is that detecting and disrupting the flow of

drug proceeds is more challenging than ever, and AFC specialists must develop new approaches to remain

at the forefront in the fight against narcotics networks. This workshop takes participants through the

myriad ways that narcotics trafficking has changed, and offers practical guidance on updating risk

management systems to fight the scourge taking such a terrible toll on communities across the country.

• Analyzing FinCEN advisory on unique characteristics of fentanyl trafficking such as Darknet markets,

virtual currencies and rise of smaller criminal networks vs. cartels

• Engaging public interest groups and law enforcement to assess institutional risks involving fentanyl and

remain current on trends involving laundering of proceeds

• Integrating fentanyl trafficking dynamics such as geographic clustering, shipments from at-risk

jurisdictions and atypical crypto conversions into AFC models

• Onboarding Personnel

• Compliance Managers

• Risk Managers

• Relationship Officers

• FIU/FCC Members

• IT and Virtual Currency Specialists

information out, of course) with someone that understands what you mean by your

acronyms and sense of urgency involved in what you do. I truly had a blast and I

hope I get to attend again next year!
