As part of the series of anti-money laundering and terrorism financing seminars for certified accountants, the Lebanese Association of Certified Public Accountants organized a seminar, entitled: Responsibility of the Certified Accountant under Law No. 44/2015 presented by Dr. Ali Badran, on Monday 29 September 2018, at the Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture in Sidon and South Lebanon.

The presenter addressed the provisions of the AML / CFT Law No. 44 and the obligations of the Certified Accountants.
