AML Tallinn 2021
ESTONIA FACING AML CHALLENGES
#NEW Policies I Processes I Procedures I Technologies
12 May 2021 @ Swissôtel Tallinn Ballroom & VIRTUAL
Introducing
Over the past few years, the Estonian banking and financial sector has been hit by a wave of penalties for serious deficiencies in anti-money laundering systems and processes. These shortcomings are not solely the result of the propensity of some banks for customers or risky schemes, but largely due to poor policies, management of outdated processes and existing procedures. They also reflect the inefficiency of the compliance tools currently used by financial institutions. The banking and financial sector has drawn its own conclusions from this. As a result, it has started to reorganize its in-house AML policies and regulations as well as reorganized management and sectoral structures and processes to establish additional measures and rules more efficiently to prevent and combat possible AML/KYC and other violations. Particular attention has been paid to the introduction of #NEW AML and FinCrime prevention and detection technologies. The financial sector as a whole has recognized the need to implement innovative and efficient KYC / CDD solutions or tools as well as AML and Compliance fully complex systems.
