8:00: Registration

8:20: Welcome and Introductions

8:30: Earning a Place at the Table
Lyn Farrell, Managing Director, Treliant Risk Advisors
How do compliance officers get to have a place at the executive table? We will discuss strategies to make compliance professionals gain respect and work together better with executive management.              

9:20: Financial Institutions Shed Light on “Invisible” Victims of Human Trafficking and Smuggling
Hugh Newman, Sales Engineer, Verafin
Human trafficking and smuggling are immensely profitable crimes that generate mountains of illicit proceeds. Unlike the victims of most crimes, however, neither the underage victims of human trafficking nor the undocumented aliens who are exploited by human smuggling organizations will report these crimes to law enforcement. In a sense they are invisible to law enforcement.

Highlights:

Overview of human smuggling and human trafficking crimes
Use of “funnel accounts” to launder criminal proceeds
Challenges that financial institutions face in their detection efforts
Red flags and indicators for financial institutions
How collaborative networks and cross institutional detection can advance detection capabilities

Leland Chan, Senior Vice President and General Counsel, California Bankers Association
