Your relationship with the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) is about to change. The federal government is in the process of passing laws to make mortgage lending participants (that is mortgage brokers, lenders, and administrators) subject to new compliance requirements targeted at money laundering and terrorist financing. The new requirements will go well beyond simply making mortgage lending participants subject to FINTRAC reporting requirements. Why the changes? What must you do and what must your program contain to be compliant? By when must you be compliant? What are the risks of non-compliance?
Come learn from our speaker Chris Walker, President of About Business Crime Solutions, Inc. For the last 30 years, Chris has focused on money laundering compliance management. He has worked through ABCsolutions to provide training, compliance program development, and effectiveness review services to most of the sectors governed by Canada’s money laundering legislation and FINTRAC’s guidance requirements. These sectors have included banks, credit unions, real estate, accounting, securities, gaming, money service businesses, and BC Notaries.
Our moderator will keep the discussion focused on matters of particular importance to you, drawing not only on their own considerable knowledge and experience but as informed by you and our other attendees asking questions in real time.
This webinar will make you a more informed and complete broker. It will make you better able to conduct your business. We look forward to seeing you!
