AUSTRAC v CBA – Now for the Defence

AUSTRAC v CBA is again major news. This time it is CBA’s Defence to the AUSTRAC Statement of Claim

In this session we will explore CBA’s Defence and how it might impact AML/CTF Programs.

We might even stray into the Amended Statement of Claim.

As ever, we won’t be commenting on the merits of the claim or any defence, only the allegations as they pertain to alleged breaches of the AML/CTF Act, especially aorund AML/CTF Programs.

Paddy Oliver, Managing Director, AML Experts (and a lawyer) will lead the discussions.

Tickets are free.
