The Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada has assessed administrative monetary penalties against two entities. The penalties were imposed for violations of the Proceeds of Crime Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Act (PCMLTFA).
FINTRAC has had the authority to issue administrative monetary penalties in response to non-compliance with the PCMLTFA and related regulations since December 30, 2008. Penalties are used as a last recourse after other measures to ensure compliance with the law have been exhausted. This is the first time that FINTRAC has used this authority to assess such penalties.
