UPDATE: The virtual forum has been extended to April 30, 2022.

The Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) is hosting its first-ever National Real Estate AML/ATF Virtual Forum for real estate sector professionals from February 14 to March 18.

This virtual on-demand forum is a great opportunity to learn more about your AML responsibilities, while gaining a better understanding of FINTRAC and its role in combatting money laundering. Managing brokers will learn how to strengthen their brokerage’s compliance program and what to expect during a compliance examination. Realtors will benefit from a deep dive into how to identify suspicious transactions and submit a suspicious transaction report.

The forum will also include a presentation on FINTRAC intelligence case studies, giving attendees a greater appreciation of the impact real estate professionals can have on keeping illegal funds out of the housing market.

The forum is free. Click here to for more information and to register.
