Training Session on Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Combatting the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) Typologies
Past Events
The Financial Intelligence Analysis Unit (FIAU) and the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA), in collaboration with the British High Commission, organised a full day training session on Money Laundering and Funding of Terrorism (ML/FT) Typologies.
This session was intended to increase the awareness of types of Anti-Money Laundering and Combatting of Funding of Terrorism (AML/CFT) predicate offences that are impacting Malta. Hence, one of the main objectives of this session was for subject persons to gain more understanding and ability to target associated illicit financial flows.
A number of presentations were delivered during the day, as indicated in the agenda here below. It included the delivery of Subject Matter Experts from the UK Law Enforcement Authorities on Trade-Based Money Laundering, VAT Supply Chain Fraud, Organised Immigration Crime, Public-Private Partnerships, amongst others.
Three panel discussions also took place during this training session. The panellists discussed:
- financial crime compliance from an international perspective;
- the local regulators’ focus on national strategy, the National Risk Assessment (NRA) and the way forward; and
- the focus on new technologies, Virtual Financial Assets (VFAs), cybersecurity and what the future entails.
This training session was delivered in person (live) and was limited to 275 people.
Certificates of attendance were emailed to attendees.
