With the EU’s adoption of a new Single Rulebook for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) and the creation of a dedicated AML/CFT Authority, the AML/CFT supervision landscape is undergoing transformative changes. These developments follow recent failures of European financial institutions to effectively prevent illicit activities, underscoring the urgent need for stronger supervision and risk-based approaches.

This programme delivers cutting-edge insights into regulatory requirements, risk-based supervision, and supervisory practices within the EU’s revised AML/CFT framework. It examines the strengthened supervisory mechanisms and the rising expectations for financial institutions to enhance their risk management capabilities, including the identification, management, and mitigation of ML/FT risks. Participants will explore strategies for improving risk understanding, adopting risk-based methodologies, and ensuring robust governance.

The course includes a practical session to foster active and collaborative engagement with the core faculty. It also addresses emerging risks and challenges, such as effective law enforcement and issues related to crypto-assets, artificial intelligence, and other technologies.

Analyse the updated regulatory and institutional landscape for AML/CFT in the EU, focusing on the components and implications of the AML/CFT Single Rulebook.
Examine risk-based supervision and strategies for effective AML risk management.
Differentiate ML/FT vulnerabilities and risks (sector-specific, activity-based, entity-based), developing tailored risk management approaches.
Assess the role and impact of the new AML Authority in adopting and implementing common methodologies, approaches, and supervisory practices within EU AML/CFT supervision.
Reflect on AML/CFT challenges, i.e. effective law enforcement, and those raised by crypto-assets, AI and new technologies, and the future of AML/CFT supervision.

This intermediate-level course is tailored for mid- and high-level professionals working in the AML/CFT area, keen on mastering the evolving regulatory and institutional frameworks. It is ideal for representatives from AML supervisory authorities, Financial Intelligence Units, ministries of economy and finance, prudential authorities, central banks, and those in the financial services industry. This course also suits compliance officers, risk managers, legal professionals, and fintech companies looking to stay updated with the latest developments after the review of the EU AML directive (AMLD 6) and adoption of a new AML Regulation, and strategies for robust risk management in anticipation of emerging supervisory trends and potential new risks.
