Synopsis

Funds and Fund Administrators need to understand why their industry is high risk for banks - especially with vulnerabilities to financial crime - and, more importantly, how they can comply with Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations to alleviate this risk.

This session will provide tactical and actionable insights on and frameworks that can be used for risk assessments, best practices for KYC collection and screening to get started quickly, and the ideal processes that help with controlling your own legal entity structure and responding to the countless KYC questionnaires from banks.
