Jim Lee, the head of IRS-Criminal Investigation Division, will provide the Wednesday, September 13th keynote address and discuss how law enforcement uses critical BSA data to combat money laundering and other illicit finance schemes.

Last year’s conference was an amazing success, with more than 460 attendees from more than 35 states and over 160 gaming entities. Attendees said it was “the best AML/BSA conference that I have ever attended,” with speakers who “are experts in their fields and have tackled anti-money laundering for a number of years.” Another attendee stated, “the opportunity of networking with others in the industry as well as with regulators is an unmatched experience.”
This year’s conference includes speakers from various federal and state law enforcement and regulatory agencies including casino BSA/AML examiners from IRS; the Department of Justice’s Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Section; and several others. In addition, various gaming regulatory agencies will attend, including New Jersey, Nevada, and Ontario.
Attendees will have a chance to meet face-to-face with IRS-BSA Examiners, state gaming regulators, and criminal law enforcement to learn about money laundering, emerging illicit finance typologies, fraud, and cyber threats to their casinos.
