How Well Do You "Know Your Compliance"?

Greg, welcome to the Know Your Compliance podcast. I'm your host. Greg Dent. Six years ago, I founded Really Trusted because I wanted to make it easier to fulfill some of my obligations as a realtor, a job I'd been doing for almost a decade. I didn't know then that that was the beginning of an exploration into a world of compliance and regulation I spent the last six years learning about anti money laundering, counter terrorist financing, the pcml, TFA, and all of the subtleties of compliance related to those topics. My journey in AML has taken me to take courses that few probably would, read legislation and regulation. I've listened to experts, attended forums and read books, and I've even began having debates about AML and CTF policy and procedures with anyone who will engage. But the real insight I bring to this show is from the literal hundreds of compliance officers in Canadian real estate brokerages with whom I've talked about their FINTRAC compliance program. So the KYC podcast is my way of sharing some of the knowledge I've gained through that journey.

On some of our episodes, I'll unpack a particular insight the team and I have gleaned from our work with those real estate brokerages. Other episodes, I'll bring on a guest to do a deep dive into an area of the financial crime space that I want to learn more about. Sometimes, our episodes will simply be a conversation with a member of the really trusted team to explore something that we're seeing as topical in the AML, CTF space. Ultimately, if you want to learn more about anti money laundering and compliance in general, this is the show for you. My commitment to you is that we'll go as deep as we can into every related topic that we can find. Our first episodes will include delving deep into topics such as adverse media searches, sanctions lists, seized assets, human trafficking.

Ultimately, we want the KYC podcast to be an exploration of topics that interest you as an active compliance officer, an anti money laundering consultant, or just if you're curious about the impact of crime on society and how white collar professionals can do their part to deter crime in our communities.

Now at the Know Your Compliance podcast, we believe that knowledge protects and insights and power. I hope you'll join us on the journey
