Casino Essentials has announced the names of the inaugural keynote speaker of its 12th annual AML Conference in gaming. Kenneth Blanco, the Director of FinCEN, will inaugurate the conference with a keynote speech on the first day of the three-day event. There will be further keynotes, panel discussions and presentations from FinCEN’s Enforcement Division, the Chief of IRS Criminal Investigations and the Chief of Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Section of the Department of Justice.
The Bank Secrecy Act or BSA requires financial institutions including casinos in the United States to assist government agencies to detect and prevent money laundering.
In 2018, Casino Essentials’ National AML conference attracted high profile speakers from FinCEN, IRS and DOJ. More than 600 gaming professionals, regulators and attorneys attended the annual conference in Las Vegas, developed by Casino Essentials in partnership with the Dowling Advisory Group (DAG).
“Attendees will hear from the most experienced legal and regulatory experts in the gaming industry,” said Jim Dowling, the Managing Director of The Dowling Advisory Group (DAG). “Our extensive experience with AML compliance allows us to connect casino professionals with federal regulators to address the most challenging issues in the gaming industry.”
