Twenty-five state examiners have registered for MTRA’s School for Money Transmitter Examiners to be held in San Francisco, California on June 18-22, 2007. The school will run Monday through Friday noon at the Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites, 373 S Airport Blvd, San Francisco, located close to the SF Airport. The school will be limited to 25 state examiners. Due to high demand, another session of the school will be held in Annapolis, Maryland, August 20-24 at the Historic Inns of Annapolis.
The curriculum of the school has been developed by Robert Mbama, a former money transmitter supervisory examiner at the California Department of Financial Institutions and a group of supervisory examiners headed by MTRA directors Robert Venchiarutti of California and John Bishop of Ohio. Six instructors will cover topics such as planning the exam, analysis of financial statements of money transmitters, discussion of the core exam, discussion of the MTRA rating system, and anti money laundering and OFAC compliance.
