Financial Crime Fighters: The new US AML Law - Elizabeth Slim, Senior Consultant, Volkov Law & ACAMS Co-Chair, Southern California Chapter (USA) Part 1

Elizabeth Slim joins Sam Sheen and Marie Lundberg to chat about the Anti-Money Laundering Act 2020 (AMLA) and how this significant reform will impact areas such as Beneficial Ownership rules, FinCen's planned review of the art market from an AML perspective and whether overseas businesses with subsidiaries in the US need to comply with these requirements. They also consider the not-so-simple UBO rules, when companies must register their owners and the many exemptions offered under the AMLA Act , expanded provisions for US government to obtain records from non-US banks and how they could lose their correspondent bank account if they fail to cooperate. And of course, sharing of information between entities as part of a new pilot project. Part one of two.
