Noted compliance advisor with Wolters Kluwer Financial Services joins 36 global financial crime authorities
PR Log - Apr 19, 2013 - The Association of Certified Financial Crime Specialists is pleased to announce that Shannon Bennett, the Director of Financial Crime Control Strategy and Consulting with Wolters Kluwer Financial Services, will be joining a roster of world-class financial crime speakers at the upcoming ACFCS International Financial Crime Conference & Exhibition, May 16 – 18, 2013 at the Westin Diplomat in Hollywood, FL.
An expert on the requirements and implications of Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering compliance, she serves as a senior advisor and strategist to banks, securities firms, and other major financial institutions. Prior to joining Wolters Kluwer Financial Services, she served as Senior Director for Law Enforcement Liaison and Technical Strategies with MoneyGram International, where she was responsible for building the company’s relationships and working closely with law enforcement agencies. Previously, she was a Vice President in risk management with Wells Fargo.
We have noticed a marked uptick in interest from regulatory agencies focused on financial crime risk management,” said Mrs. Bennett. “We recommend that our clients be proactive about emerging areas of potential vulnerability so their programs remain consistently current and effective. A holistic AML approach requires banks to vigilantly monitor changes that impact their overall risk profile and work to ensure the right mix of technology to provide key insights into suspicious activity and help teams be productive in investigations for regulatory reporting.”
“We’re very pleased to welcome Shannon to the conference, among the other speakers who are leaders and practitioners in the field,” said Charles Intriago, ACFCS President and Founder. “The range of expertise and training in the full spectrum of financial crimes set the ACFCS conference apart from any other event. Shannon’s diverse experience in AML and BSA compliance and depth of knowledge makes her ideally suited to speak on issues and best practices designed to give actionable knowledge and improve compliance results for our attendees,” Intriago added.
“We also thank Wolters Kluwer Financial Services for their continued support as a Conference sponsor. They are among a growing number of top companies and firms that will be showcasing their services and solutions during the conference in the exhibition hall. The success of the ACFCS Conference is due in large part to the support of these sponsors and exhibitors,” Intriago concluded.
ACFCS has recently released its groundbreaking Certified Financial Crime Specialist Examination, the only credential to verify knowledge and skill across the full spectrum of financial crimes. On the Wednesday before the conference, May 15, at the Westin Diplomat, ACFCS will offer a full-day seminar for candidates who wish to prepare for the CFCS certification exam.
