As part of the ADB Ta Phi 3847 Strengthening The Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Regime In The Philippines Program, a series of money laundering awareness seminars will be conducted on the above dates, which will cover the following topics:

· The development of international responses to money
laundering
· What is money laundering and how can it be detected?
· The key elements of the Amended Anti-Money Laundering
Act and the compliance obligations of covered institutions
· What are suspicious transactions and how to identify them?

The primary target audience would be senior managers who are responsible for the compliance of covered institutions. However, professional associations, which cover the financial sector of the Philippines will also benefit from the discussion on key AML compliance issues.

As much as RBAP would want all Confederations/Federations to be represented, we cannot afford to because of the limited slots available. In turn, we will just accept nominations on a first-come, first-served basis from Confederation and Federations, preferably from the Association of Compliance Officers of the Federation.

The selected participants will be responsible for re-echoing what has transpired from the seminar to their respective Confederation and Federation Association. In order to have fair representation, RBAP will accommodate two representatives each from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. However, if there are no nominations received from Visayas or Mindanao, considering the proximity to the venue, RBAP shall have the discretion to choose from the wait-listed nominees.

Please be reminded that all expenses (i.e. transportation, accommodation, etc.) related to the seminar must be shouldered by the rural bank.

All interested confederations/federations must send the names of nominees not later than February 20, 2004 at info@rbap.org or coordinate with your Account Officers at RBAP. Tel. Nos. (02) 527-2968; 527-2972.

Be aware of the Money Laundering scheme and take advantage of these free Seminars.
