On 1st April 2026, two legal notices were published in the Government Gazette amending the Prevention of Money Laundering and Funding of Terrorism Regulations (PMLFTR) and the Centralised Bank Account Register (CBAR) Regulations. These amendments – Legal Notice 82 of 2026 and Legal Notice 83 of 2026 – introduce several changes. Among other updates, they empower the FIAU to enter into settlement agreements in respect of administrative penalties and provide for a transitional provision that enables the possibility of an out-of-court settlement in pending appeal proceedings.
To better explain these changes, this half-day event will provide an overview of the key elements of the forthcoming Enforcement Guide, with the aim of enhancing understanding of the FIAU’s enforcement framework and its practical application. Participants will gain insight into the FIAU’s enforcement process, including the application of administrative measures and the factors considered in sanctioning decisions. Two dedicated Q&A segments will allow participants to raise questions directly with the presenting team.
Two identical training sessions will be delivered on the same day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Participants are invited to register for their preferred session. Given the short timeframes involved, requests to transfer between sessions cannot be guaranteed; participants are therefore encouraged to make their selection carefully at the time of registration.
