In this episode of “Financial Crime Matters”—a live recording from the ACAMS Assembly in Hollywood, Florida—Kieran Beer talks with Sarah Paquet, director and CEO of the Financial Transaction Reports Analysis Centre (FINTRAC).
Paquet discusses FINTRAC’s new role handling sanctions intelligence, managing the revolution in financial technology and the ongoing commitment of the financial intelligence unit (FIU) to expand and further internationalize Canada’s anti-financial crime public-private partnerships.
While detailing the initial success of the partnerships, including initiatives around human trafficking, online child exploitation and the fentanyl trade, Paquet says “We are definitely looking to bring [all] our partnerships to an international level” because FINTRAC should be seen not just as Canada’s FIU but as a trusted partner by global industry, law enforcement and the public.
