Featured Speaker: Fouad Hassouneh, VP of AML Product Management at Nasdaq Verafin
Human trafficking is one of the most devastating forms of financial crime, and financial institutions play a critical role in identifying the activity. Meaningful outcomes depend on what happens next: turning observations into intelligence, intelligence into investigations, and investigations into justice.
