SUMMARY:Best Practices/Insights for Dealers in Virtual Currencies
DESCRIPTION:Most Dealers in Virtual Currencies (DiVC) in Canada now have had a full year’s experience under the Proceeds of Crime\, Money Laundering\, and Terrorist Finance Act and associated regulations (PCMLTFA/R). At that time\, DiVCs had to navigate this new world as administered by FINTRAC. Sometimes on their own\, with the assistance of others\, and most likely some seasoned veterans within the AML/CTF community in Canada. As we embark on the second year\, new insights will surely be gleaned as more examinations and maturity starts to sprout or blossom amongst the DiVC community. To this end\, the Canadian MSB community has been honoured with an inside view from some of the most seasoned veterans In Canada today! Participants will be guided through strategies for “Reasonable Measures\, Transaction Monitoring/Controls\, and Best Practices” related to DiVC in Canada. Join us as Rodney MacInnes(Outliers)\, Giles Dixon(Bitfinex)\, Charlene Cieslik (local coin)\, Marcelle Dadoun (theAMLshop\, Peter Morcos(Reliance Compliance)\, Paul Burak (Shakepay)\, and Joseph Iuso (Bitbuy) and don’t miss your chance to learn and ask questions! \n\nCMSBA Members\, please sign in to the CMSBA website (canadianmsb.org) to get your code for MEMBER ONLY 100% off the general ticket price. \n\nClick here to buy the tickets

SUMMARY:AML 2.0 - A New Way to Look at Money Laundering (ML)
DESCRIPTION:This in-depth look at basic money laundering will provide participants with a new perspective of money laundering that builds on the dated three stages of the money laundering model. Different crimes generate proceeds which are managed by criminals and launderers in a multitude of ways. \nUnderstanding the predicate crimes\, sources of criminal proceeds and terminology will allow MSB owners and operators to improve their transaction monitoring and reporting programs whether face to face or through automated means. Linking this updated means to understand the laundering of the proceeds of crime also assists people to better understand the relevant legislation underlying the reporting requirements. \nCriminals including money launderers who are just as responsible as those who commit crimes for profit use a tremendous variety of techniques to obscure dirty money. When discussing money laundering\, I like to start at the beginning which means starting with the predicate crimes and offences that GENERATE the proceeds of crime. John Broome\, a noted academic and AML professional from Australia\, describes six stages of money laundering. Describing money laundering by way of the three stages\, placement\, layering and integration limits one’s understanding about how the source of funds matters\, why wealth is hidden and ultimately what criminals are able to do with the potentially vast wealth they have accumulated as a result of criminal activities. I think there is tremendous value in understanding and applying these concepts as a teaching tool for staff of reporting entities\, intelligence and law enforcement officers.

SUMMARY:Real-world LVCTR Training and discussion

This will be an interactive learning session with lots of discussion about new items that are now in the LVCTR to deal with all the regulatory changes up to June 1\, 2021.  While not directly discussed\, there will be commentary related to how the new LVCTR has set the stage for future changes related to pretty much every other report that will be submitted in the future to FINTRAC related to EFT\, LCTR\, CDR\, STR and TPR reports. You will not want to miss this session! \n*** Please note\, this session is not endorsed by FINTRAC or to be considered regulatory or legal advise and anything the attendee will learn from this session should be validated as part of their own AML program.

His extensive experience within the realm of self-service banking integration has helped many clients provide online\, real-time transaction processing within the EFT community. Clients have included CIBC\, ISM\, IBM\, ACI (Astech)\, ING Direct\, Canadian Tire\, and Royal Bank. With this understanding\, Joseph has been able to link all the existing components to make UseMyServices a leader in real time bank payments technology. \nAmber D. Scott – Founder & Chief AML Ninja\, Outlier Solutions  \nAmber has broad-based financial compliance experience that includes insurance\, mutual funds and banking. In addition to being a Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS) Amber is also a Certified Privacy Professional (CIPP). She also holds a mutual fund sales designation from the Investment Funds Institute of Canada (IFIC) and a first level Fellow\, Life Management Institute (FLMI).  She is also a Certified Bitcoin Professional (CBP). \nAmber completed her undergraduate studies at the university of Waterloo. Her academic interests have always included law and criminology. As a teaching assistant she assisted in the development of the university’s first applied psychology course on criminal profiling. She has also received an MBA from the University of Aspen. \nThe first memory that Amber has about financial crime is hearing her father and a friend of the family discussing the dilemma faced by a local union that had fallen under the influence of an organized crime group. Pension monies had allegedly been deferred into investments that benefitted the crime organization\, but not the union membership. Many discussions with her father followed on the structures that could allow a criminal organization to circumvent the controls in an established organization for their own purposes without suffering any consequences. It was all very confusing and fascinating for a ten year old. \nWhile her confusion has faded\, her fascination never has. Amber is passionate about ethical and legal compliance. Her obsession with understanding the risks and devising actionable solutions has lead her to work in the financial services industry and with Canadian consulting firms. In 2013\, she founded Outlier Solutions Inc. to provide anti-money laundering (AML) solutions to Canadian reporting entities. \nZach Ramsay – Founder & Chief \, Coin Culture Consulting \nZach’s first introduction to Bitcoin was during the 2013 Cyprus financial crisis as depositors sought a safe-haven from widespread bail-ins\, seeing the price triple in a matter of days. As a strong believer of sound money\, Zach immersed himself in this new technology. A year later\, Coin Culture was born and Guelph’s first Bitcoin ATM was launched. Since then\, the infrastructure underlying the Bitcoin network has grown considerably although mainstream adoption has lagged behind. Indeed\, it has become clear that blockchains will be the workhorses of the new digital economy\, while the Bitcoin protocol may end up as a hidden monetization layer for the internet. Consequently\, Coin Culture’s focus shifted from promoting Bitcoin adoption to building blockchains and providing consulting and software services surrounding their implementation. \nZach completed a B.Sc. in Neuroscience at the University of Guelph and was on track for graduate work. But after becoming disenchanted with the academic and publishing system\, his focus shifted to financial services. In addition to Bitcoin and blockchain consulting\, Zach is currently seeking CAMS certification and is working on innovative compliance software. \nSusan Han – Associate Counsel\, Miller Thomson LLP \nSusan Han is a securities lawyer who focusses on regulatory compliance including AML.  Susan’s works at AUM Law\, who has offices in Toronto and Montreal serving clients in the investment funds\, wealth management and retail financial services industries. \nSusan has served as the Corporate Secretary to a number of public companies and large investment fund complexes and their independent review committees (IRCs).  She speaks frequently on directors and officers liability and on corporate\, fund and pension governance. \nBefore joining AUM Law\, Susan worked at Miller Thomson\, Dundee Wealth and Invesco Trimark. \nMatthew McGuire – National Anti-Money Laundering Practice Leader\, MNP \nMatthew McGuire\, CA\, is the National Leader of MNP’s AML Services line\, part of the firm’s Investigative & Forensic Services practice. His invaluable expertise and knowledge of anti-money laundering (AML) compliance ensures that clients effectively stay abreast of regulatory developments and manage risk through business processes and internal controls. \nAs founder of the Canadian Institute for Financial Crime Analysis (CIFCA)\, Matthew utilizes his private and public regulatory and investigative experience to assist clients with AML compliance and financial crime risk mitigation strategies\, with a focus on federally regulated financial institutions\, emerging payment technologies\, and credit unions. His extensive background in strategic and tactical intelligence analysis for the Financial Transactions Reports and Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) affords him a unique perspective that allows Canadian and international clients to safely achieve success in today’s tightly regulated business climate. \nMatthew has been qualified as an expert witness by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice\, is a Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist by the Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (ACAMS)\, and is accredited as an Anti-Money Laundering Professional by the Bank Administration Institute. \nDedicated to all issues related to AML\, Matthew regularly speaks to reporting entities\, law enforcement\, and prosecutorial authorities. He also shares his knowledge through university lectures\, conferences\, and contributes articles to periodicals. His expertise in forensic accounting has involved him in several investigative cases throughout the world. \nLouis Letellier – Director Public Contracts and Money Services-Businesses\, AMF \nLouis Letellier is Director Public Contracts and Money Services-Businesses at the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF). He supervises the teams responsible for the issuance of authorizations to enterprises that wish to enter into a contract with a public body and the issuance of licences to enterprises that want to operate a money-services business in Quebec. \nPrior to joining the AMF in 2009\, Mr. Letellier occupied the position of Senior Counsel (business and transactions) at Desjardins Financial Security\, where he negotiated several important contracts. \nMr. Letellier holds a master degree in taxation from the University of Sherbrooke. He previously worked as a tax specialist for PricewaterhouseCoopers.  Mr. Letellier holds a law degree from Laval University (LL.B.) and has been a member of the Quebec Bar since 1998. \nAngelo Coppola – Regional Compliance Manager\, Eastern Canada\, FINTRAC \nAngelo began his career with the federal public service in 1991 when he joined Revenue Canada (now known as the Canada Revenue Agency) as a Tax Collector – Complex Files. In 1997\, he joined Health Canada’s Tobacco Control Programme as a Senior Tobacco Inspector before joining FINTRAC in 2007 as a Senior Compliance Officer. In this role\, Angelo has conducted compliance examinations in all of the industry sectors covered under theProceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) Terrorist Financing Act.

Many discussions with her father followed on the structures that could allow a criminal organization to circumvent the controls in an established organization for their own purposes without suffering any consequences. It was all very confusing and fascinating for a ten year old. \nWhile her confusion has faded\, her fascination never has. Amber is passionate about ethical and legal compliance.
