Navigating Regulatory Changes: A Crucial Webinar for Mortgage Brokers by FINTRAC

About the Webinar

Please join us in attending an informative presentation delivered by FINTRAC, Canada’s Financial Intelligence Unit and Anti-Money Laundering/Anti-Terrorist Financing supervisor.  

New obligations for the mortgage sector have been published, and will come into effect October 2024.  The goal of this presentation is to provide an overview of the requirements that include elements of a compliance program, record keeping and reporting.  A documented compliance program is the basis of meeting all reporting entity obligations under the Act and associated Regulations which will contribute to FINTRAC’s mandate to combat money laundering, terrorist financing and threats to the security of Canada.
