With the introduction of the new AML and CTF bill in Australia, firms are facing new challenges in compliance, but there's also a significant opportunity to leverage a risk-based approach for both regulatory adherence and competitive advantage. Scott Sonter from the Harbor crew will be presenting at the upcoming AML and CTF Forum on November 20. In his session, “From Compliance to Competitive Advantage: Building Strong Foundations for a Risk-Based Approach,” Scott will dive into best practices that can help firms align compliance strategies with their broader business objectives. By transforming how you think about compliance from a mere obligation to a strategic opportunity, firms can refine policies and processes, ensuring more effective implementation and ultimately fostering growth. If you are attending the event, I hope you make it to his session and find it valuable. #AML #Risk #CTF
