Mastering AML: AML audit and recent developments

Data: 2020 - 06 - 17

Laikas: 14:00

The latest changes to EU and local AML legislation laid down more detailed and stringent requirements. The need for AML audits is growing not only for internal use (e.g. assistance in detecting flaws in AML procedures which can be unnoticed while performing daily routine tasks) but also for external use (e.g. AML audit reports are requested by correspondent banks or other business partners, supervisory authorities, etc.). Continuous AML audits and relevant auditing programmes show the maturity and credibility of a financial market participant. It is very important to understand the AML audit practice and general requirements applicable to such an audit before planning it. The importance of AML compliance is particularly relevant as the recent cases and fines applied by the regulators for non-compliance with AML requirements prove that regulators do not tolerate AML non-compliance. Furthermore, AML personnel should regularly update their knowledge in relation to recent changes in AML legislation and upcoming legislation both on EU and local level.

In this webinar, we have gathered experienced AML lawyers, financial/audit/risk management professionals to share their experience and knowledge on AML audits as well as insights on planned AML legislative changes.
