Over 100 of the area's top AML/CFT professionals will attend, along with special guest H.E. Sultan Bin Nasser Al Suwaidi, Governor of UAE's Central Bank and Chairman of the nation's National Anti-Money Laundering Committee.
"Dubai was a logical choice for the first Middle East chapter for two reasons," said Dr. Efraín Venezuela, ACAMS' Director of Education and Programs Development. "First, it is a major international banking center. In addition, the members themselves, with the support of the local government, were very enthusiastic about creating a chapter and worked to make this a reality."
At a local level, the chapter will further ACAMS' main mission: providing education and professional development to AML/CFT specialists to enhance their skills and thus combat these crimes more effectively. It will do this with special training events, workshops and meetings designed to promote the interchange of news, tips and ideas among the members.
