The annual International Financial Criminology and Terrorism Financing Conference 2013 will be back with more interesting stuff. This is in view of the fact that Malaysia will be undergoing the Mutual Evaluation (ME) assessment of the Asia Pacific Group on Money Laundering (APG) scheduled for April 2014. As such is it expected that the conference will provide interesting and practical topics that could enhance participants' knowledge and competency in the AML/CFT area. Again, for the third time, the Accounting Research Institute (ARI) is greatly honoured to be invited to be part of the organizing committee. As per last year, the main organizers of IFCTF 2013 will be the Compliance Officer Networking Group (CONG) and the Asian Institute of Finance (AIF). Today, two ARI researchers - ARI Director Prof Dr Normah and Fellow AP Dr Jamaliah attended the preliminary meeting of the IFCTF 2013 Committee. Dates, venue and theme of the conference will be confirmed by the next committee meeting in June 2013. We look forward to another very interesting conference...
