Geldwäscheprävention kompakt für Vorstandsmitglieder und Geschäftsleitende
Facts and guidelines on the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing can sometimes be compared to an iceberg. On the surface, we encounter buzzwords such as “Germany as a money laundering paradise,” a “turning point in EU regulations,” or the new EU authority “AMLA” based in Frankfurt. However, what lies beneath the surface, what approaches the supervisory authorities are pursuing, what connections are relevant, and what innovations are actually significant for banks often remain hidden.
The Banking Academy and Banking Association are providing an update specifically designed for executives on the latest developments in EU anti-money laundering legislation, accompanying national regulations, and other developments.
Key topics at the symposium will include:
- Current developments at AMLA
- New developments in customer due diligence obligations
- Data-driven supervision – what does this mean for institutions?
- Criminal sanctions law – tougher penalties for compliance staff
The event will be led by:
Thorsten Höche:
Thorsten Höche is a trained banker, lawyer, and managing director and chief legal officer of the German Banking Association. He holds various positions at specialist legal publications and regularly appears as an author and speaker.
Sandro Hartmann:
