The use of virtual currencies has become more prevalent over the past few years. While regulation on the use of, and services related to, these currencies has developed, the risk of fraud and money laundering associated with dealing in virtual currencies remains very high

In this webinar we will explain the risk exposure and discuss future AML regulation relevant to financial institutions, non-financial businesses and service providers who have contact with virtual currencies. The webinar is designed to cater for both those who are unfamiliar with virtual currencies and those well versed on the subject.
