    As criminals devise ever more sophisticated ways to disguise illicit activity, the obligation on regulated professionals to understand the law and follow rigorous compliance procedures grows with it. This advanced seminar covers recent changes to AML legislation and the upcoming impact of the 5th and 6th EU Directives.

    Participants examine the guidance of the main supervisory authorities, the procedures obliged entities must follow for enhanced and simplified due diligence, and the risk-based approach — with analysis and discussion of recent developments. The programme also covers the principal EU, UN and US economic-sanctions regimes.
