The 10th International Conference on Financial Crime and Terrorism Financing (IFCTF) will reveal the latest trends and how best to combat it through robust compliance procedures.
The conference, which will be held on October 30 and 31 in Kuala Lumpur with the theme “The Rising Voice of Compliance – Towards Greater Governance and Transparency”, will explore topics on current events and new trends in these areas and practicable approaches within the realm of compliance.
“The success of the IFCTF is made possible with the commitment of our sponsors every year, for the last 10 years.
“And for this 10th IFCTF, we have lined up excellent speakers and subject matter experts from around the globe to share their views and thoughts on combating financial crime and terrorism financing.
“I am happy to inform that we have secured over 90% participation, with over 800 delegates attending,” said IFCTF and the Compliance Officers’ Networking Group (CONG) organising chairman V Maslamani.
