Over thirty years ago, a small group of San Francisco-based bankers began meeting for lunch with local representatives from IRS Criminal Investigations to discuss Bank Secrecy Act-related issues and concerns. These luncheons evolved into the West Coast Anti-Money Laundering Forum, a nationally recognized conference where financial industry and law enforcement professionals come together with common goals: to gain a better understanding of the challenges we all face, receive updates on current AML topics and trends, and forge a cooperative relationship.
The conference is planned and executed by a group of volunteers from a cross section of the financial industry and law enforcement. The agenda encompasses a wide variety of topics, including law enforcement case studies, technology, regulatory updates, best practices, and more. The event is not sponsored and press are not allowed, creating an opportunity for candid discussion. Attendance is also limited which fosters a relaxed and intimate environment with opportunity for networking.
The West Coast Anti-Money Laundering Forum provides financial institution compliance professionals, federal and state regulators, government law enforcement investigative agencies and qualified financial industry consultants a forum that fosters a confidential and cooperative atmosphere in which ideas can be exchanged openly and candidly enhancing the ability of all to help in the fight against money laundering, terrorist funding and other financial crimes.
The participants of the West Coast Anti-Money Laundering Forum gain knowledge and develop a synergy and network that promotes success for each participant in their career as it relates to the goal of preventing or detecting and stopping money laundering, terrorism and other financial crimes.
The West Coast Anti Money Laundering Forum is proud to introduce its dedicated and passionate leadership team. These individuals come from diverse backgrounds and bring with them a wealth of knowledge and experience in the fight against financial crime. Whether it's through their innovative ideas, tireless work ethic, or unwavering commitment to our mission, this team truly embodies the spirit of our forum.
