In this episode, Kieran Beer talks to Dr. James Cockayne, head of the Secretariat of Finance Against Slavery and Trafficking (FAST), a year-old United Nations initiative enlisting financial institutions in the fight against human trafficking. Dr. Cockayne talks about how financial institutions can help track and interdict the proceeds of human trafficking, shun investment in businesses that profit from trafficking and help the victims of modern slavery re-enter the global financial system.
FAST has partnered with ACAMS to provide the anti-human trafficking training and certification program “Fighting Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking.”
