The order concluded Case Number 134115 following an examination conducted by the OFR to assess the company's compliance with state financial regulations. The Final Order approved and incorporated a Stipulation and Consent Agreement resolving violations identified during the OFR's examination. Convera USA, LLC failed to maintain, review, and update an effective anti-money laundering (AML) program, specifically lacking adequate policies and procedures related to Currency Transaction Reports (CTRs), frequency and responsible parties for conducting independent reviews, FinCEN registration renewal dates, and training policies specifying completion dates, as required by section 560.1235(2), Florida Statutes. Additionally, the company failed to timely notify the OFR of a change in registered agent, violating Rule 69V-560.102(5), Florida Administrative Code, and section 560.126(2), Florida Statutes. Under the settlement agreement, Convera USA, LLC agreed to cease and desist from future violations and comply with all provisions of chapter 560, Florida Statutes.
