The FinCEN has issued substantial new AML requirements focused on a major expansion of Know Your Customer into what is now Customer Due Diligence, CDD. This webinar will present various aspects of the requirements.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
It goes far beyond knowledge of the Customer Legal Entity to the Beneficial Owner of that entity and its Controlling Persons.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Five years ago FinCEN’s latest major AML requirements came into play, focused on a major expansion of Know Your Customer efforts into what is now Customer Due Diligence, CDD.
