FinScan’s Murray Dickman to Speak at 2009 International Anti-Money Laundering Conference in Montreal, Canada

Presentation will focus on importance of data quality in compliance screening accuracy

PITTSBURGH, PA – November 19, 2009 - FinScan, a leading provider of sanctions, PEP and heightened risk screening solutions for the financial services industry worldwide, today announced that its chief operating officer, Murray Dickman, will be a featured speaker at the Canadian Institute’s “Lutte contre le blanchiment d’argent” (Fight against money laundering) conference at the Hotel Hyatt Regency, Montreal, Canada, November 23-24.

Mr. Dickman’s presentation will address the importance of high quality client data in ensuring the effective performance of anti-money laundering detection techniques. Unless it is operating with high quality data, Mr. Dickman argues, expensive anti-money laundering software can be rendered ineffective. By committing resources to developing high quality data, organizations can leverage the accuracy and efficiency of their software.

“When compliance managers implement a software solution, they naturally seek to achieve the highest level of performance for the money spent, but the capabilities of the software itself aren’t the only factors determining screening accuracy,” said Mr. Dickman. “I look forward to sharing FinScan’s experiences and insights to help organizations attending this conference obtain the best results and highest return from their compliance investment.”

The Canadian Institute created this anti-money laundering conference to help participants avoid civil penalties by making sure they have effective anti-money laundering controls in place. A broad range of compliance topics will be covered, including risk analysis, money laundering prevention and detection, administrative penalties, training programs and suspicious transaction reporting.
