AMLA and the new EU AML Rules: Practicalities, Challenges & Opportunities for Finance Professionals
Event Location
Brussels
Event Description
The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) is delighted to invite you to the online conference AMLA and the new EU AML Rules: Practicalities, Challenges & Opportunities for Finance Professionals, on Wednesday, 13 November 2024, at 10h00–11h30 CET.
The European Union has adopted an ambitious package of measures to strengthen the EU’s existing anti-money laundering and countering terrorism finance (AML/CFT) rules. The EU AML package includes a new Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) with supervisory powers, to be established in Frankfurt and operational from mid-2025.
Once the measures enter into force, they will constitute a significant overhaul of the current EU AML framework that will bring major changes for the accounting and finance sectors.
But what are these new rules? What are the practical implications for finance professionals including the accountancy profession? What opportunities do they offer? How will AMLA work in practice?
Join accounting and finance practitioners and European Commission policymakers, Raluca Pruna, Head of Unit, Financial Crime and Olivier Salles, Head of Unit, Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) Task Force, DG FISMA, European Commission, to understand and discuss the recently adopted EU AML package including implications and opportunities for finance and accounting professionals.
