Conference on Financing Terrorist Activities
Since September 11, 2001, heightened scrutiny of terrorist organizations and their practices has led to greater attention being paid to how terrorists finance their activities. While funds may be raised through legal and illegal means, money moves through regulated institutions and informal systems. While federal laws and regulations were on the books prior to the events of September 11 requiring banks and other financial institutions to file Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs), these requirements have been increased and extended to others through the USA Patriot Act. There is demand for more information on how terrorist organizations work, for knowledge about the informal transfer systems, and for detailed discussion of the effectiveness of efforts to stem the flow of funds to terrorist groups.
This conference seeks to addressed these questions:
- How can the regulated community enhance its ability to monitor and detect flows of funds?
- How are SARs stemming the flow of funds?
- How can the regulated community, law enforcement, and the regulators work together better to stem the flow of funds to terrorist organizations?
- Are the regulated institutions becoming law enforcement agencies?
- How do the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley affect the activities of the regulated
institutions in this area?
