Speakers include officials from the IRS, SEC, FBI, Federal Reserve, Office of the Comptroller, Justice Department and other government agencies, as well as private-sector bankers, lawyers and academic experts.

McDowell, chief, asset forfeiture and money laundering section of the U.S. Justice Department, Richard A. Small, special counsel, Federal Reserve Board, and John J.
