KPMG recently launched the KPMG AML online forum, the latest addition in the suite of offerings from the Big 4 firm in the anti-money laundering space. This follows on from the success of the KPMG AML Roundtable, which is now in its ninth year and is a discussion forum strictly reserved for MLROs (Money Laundering Reporting Officers) and compliance officers. The KPMG AML online forum provides access to a digital platform which allows users to network, communicate, and acquire knowledge at an even pace to that at which trends and regulation in money laundering and financing of terrorism unfurl.

Juanita Bencini, Head of Risk Consulting Advisory services at KPMG, whose team is behind the initiative said: “The MLRO’s life in an organisation can be pretty lonely. The fact that AML procedures are viewed by many in an organisation as being the brake on more business flowing in does not help. As with our other AML service offerings, our objective remains the same – that of assisting the MLRO in facing day-to-day situations in the AML space by sharing thoughts and ideas and requesting insight when faced with a challenge”.

Membership to the KPMG AML Forum gives access to semi-weekly updates, hot topics, articles and discussion forums. KPMG’s belief is that a diversity of knowledge, ideas and experiences is the strength behind every professional’s success in the fight against money laundering and financing of terrorism.

Claude Anne Sant Fournier, who spearheaded this initiative, commented: “KPMG’s name has long been associated with AML in Malta. Over the years we have been involved in training several MLROs and providing ad-hoc training to financial institutions. The KPMG AML Roundtable keeps on growing year on year and it is quite significant that we will be celebrating 10 years of the Roundtable in 2014. This is yet another move to ensure we remain close to our clients and the AML issues that they face”

Membership to the KPMG AML Forum is open to local AML professionals and compliance officers. KPMG will be vetting all applications to ensure that the forum environment is one that generates interest and is stimulating and that debates are generated by professionals in this space who want to have access to like-minded individuals at the touch of a screen.
