Description
The session will address the latest developments on the anti-money laundering (AML) regulatory front in light of recent and upcoming Financial Action Task Force (FATF) mutual evaluation reviews of member countries. Panellists will explore the conflict between balancing the need for enhancing security through stronger AML rules with the need to safeguard attorney-client privilege, and how the FATF is or is not addressing this balance in its country reviews.
