As the registrar at CAMLI, I end up talking to a lot of people who are just starting out in AML compliance, or were given the task a while ago and are working really hard to do the best they can. One thing I always encourage them to do is read the regulations and learn as much as they can from whatever source works for them. Knowledge really does give you the power to succeed in any task.
