The Thai Gem and Jewelry Traders Association (TGJTA) organized training sessions on how to use the Risk Assessment and Case Management for Reporting Entities System (AMRAC) with guidance from officials of the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO). The training will take place from July 8-10, 2024, at the TGJTA office. This training is intended for member entities who are obligated to report, particularly those in the gem, diamond, gold, or jewelry trading sectors as specified in Section 16 (2).
The training focuses on submitting risk assessment data related to money laundering or financing of terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction through the AMRAC system to AMLO in accordance with strict enforcement of the relevant laws.
