Infonex AML event: Where is Canadian AML Heading? — And What Will Regulators Expect When They Get There?”

Join Outlier‘s Amber Scott in discussing “Where is Canadian AML Heading? — And What Will Regulators Expect When They Get There?” taking place within the Infonex AML event, as Canada’s AML regime enters a period of significant change, shaped by increased enforcement activity from FINTRAC, rising penalties, evolving FATF expectations, and heightened Parliamentary scrutiny of whether the current framework remains fit for purpose. With ongoing House and Senate committee reviews—and the potential introduction of new draft AML legislation on the horizon—this session will help reporting entities anticipate and prepare for what comes next in Canada’s compliance landscape.

Furthermore, participants will examine FINTRAC’s evolving enforcement and penalty trends, and what recent actions reveal about supervisory priorities. The discussion will also explore how FATF standards and international alignment pressures are influencing the future direction of Canada’s AML regime.

Additionally, the session will consider the implications of Parliamentary review and possible legislative reform, including what proposed changes could mean for reporting entities. Key focus will be placed on Canada’s highest-risk typologies, including trade-based money laundering (TBML), sanctions evasion, fraud convergence, and the role of professional enablers.

Finally, the program will address governance, data, and accountability expectations, including board oversight, senior officer exposure, and the importance of audit-ready compliance systems. The session will also touch on Canada’s Strong Borders Act and emerging AML penalties, helping participants understand how to prepare for new and evolving compliance obligations.
