ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ
Criminals employ various methods to launder money, including layering, bulk cash smuggling, and the use of shell companies. Terrorist financing, a subset of money laundering, fuels terrorist activities, further complicating the international fight against this crime.
Financial crime trends and recent regulatory updates demand continuous adaptation of anti-money laundering (AML) strategies. Sanctions and sanctions evasion, as well as the reporting of suspicious transactions and activities (STR/SAR), play a critical role in disrupting illicit financial flows.
On the 30 May 2024, the new anti-money laundering package (EU AML Package) was adopted at the EU level.
Stemming from the anti-money laundering directives implemented within the European Union over the past 20 years, the EU AML Package includes the new Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR) and a revision of the Anti Money Laundering Directive (AMLD6) along with the establishment of a pan European authority known as AMLA (The Anti Money Laundering Authority).
The purpose of this course in the form of an update is to familiarise practitioners with these new regulatory rules and the importance of keeping current the new AML legal framework. The webinar will address what is expected from professional service providers, lawyers, accountants and auditors on the changes brought about with the adoption of the EU AML Package.
The overall aim is to provide professionals within the services industry insight as to what to expect from the new rules and tips to implement and adhere to these regulations ensuring the continuation of the high-quality services offered to local and international clients in the various industries which they operate.
