Overview
With the EU’s adoption of a new Single Rulebook for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) and the creation of a dedicated AML/CFT Authority, the AML/CFT supervision landscape is undergoing transformative changes. These developments follow recent failures of European financial institutions to effectively prevent illicit activities, underscoring the urgent need for stronger supervision and risk-based approaches.
Key Facts
The Anti-Money Laundering Academy program from Florence School of Transnational Governance examines the strengthened supervisory mechanisms and the rising expectations for financial institutions to enhance their risk management capabilities, including the identification, management, and mitigation of ML/FT risks. Participants will explore strategies for improving risk understanding, adopting risk-based methodologies, and ensuring robust governance.
The course includes a practical session to foster active and collaborative engagement with the core faculty. It also addresses emerging risks and challenges, such as effective law enforcement and issues related to crypto-assets, artificial intelligence, and other technologies.
Programme Structure
Courses include:
- Gain a comprehensive understanding of the EU’s new regulatory and institutional framework for AML/CFT, including the AML/CFT Single Rulebook.
