The third-largest Baltic sea region banking and financial sector conference on the 13th of April and a practical seminar on the following day on the 14th of April focused on anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing. Special focus will be on how to impose and enforce sanctions, why more transparent regulations are needed and how to thoroughly adjust the crypto industry worldwide and by the example of Estonia. And finally, a look at the potential to make AML/CFT measures faster, cheaper, and more effective with the help of new FinTech & RegTech ability of technologies. Get a good overview of the changing nature of crime and criminal investigations in the field of ML/TF focused on fraud, cybercrime, and other anti-financial crime in new time of crisis. Meet experts on the practical seminar to ensure and share best practices, get to know about sanction scanning between KYC and CDD, how to better collect the sanctions/watchlists data and forced sanction checks, build up better BO’s and PEP’s sanctions screening, adverse media checks, etc. Furthermore, how to really implement and build an effective AML program that includes Customer Acceptance Policy (CAP) and Customer Identification Program (CIP), ongoing monitoring of transactions and risk management procedures. And last but not least, the conference will focus on how the COVID-19 pandemic and war in Europe impacts AML trends in 2022. Today’s reality is that Russia’s invasion in Ukraine carries huge risks for the world economy that is yet to fully recover from the pandemic shock. Those ongoing threats to the world’s economic recovery impact growth, inflation and monetary policy. The impacts are drastic and we will thoroughy analyze all these important aspects at the upcoming conference.
