Good afternoon. It is a pleasure to be here with all of you today at this important conference. Before I begin my remarks, I would like to first thank the Anti-Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Committee of the New York State Society of Certified Public Accountants for inviting me here today and for sponsoring this valuable event. Also, thank you for that kind introduction; I very much appreciate the opportunity to meet with the group we have here today.
