FINTRAC imposed a $99,314 administrative monetary penalty on Toronto-based 857132 Ontario Limited for non-compliance with Canada’s anti-money laundering and terrorist financing regulations. The enforcement action targets the dealer's failure to submit large cash transaction reports, appoint a compliance officer, develop written risk assessments and policies, and maintain a staff training program. This penalty reinforces FINTRAC’s mandate to ensure regulated entities uphold mandatory compliance regimes and reporting obligations under the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act.
