AML/CFT – Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism
Money laundering and terrorism financing are threats that require constant vigilance. Pressure and regulatory scrutiny are intensifying at both national and international level, with professionals increasingly facing complex global AML/CFT rules, including those stemming from targeted financial sanctions. This has led to a significant rise in supervisory action and regulatory expectations, creating an almost zero-tolerance environment.
