DESCRIPTION

The fight against money laundering is undergoing significant regulatory and operational change, driven by rising supervisory expectations, evolving client needs and rapid technological innovation.

The Masterclass ”Implementing the New AMLA Standards under the AML Package” will first provide a strategic overview of the latest regulatory developments, including the EU AML Package and the accompanying RTS, ITS and Guidelines, with a clear reading of where the rules stand, what changes and by when, and where they are still moving. It will then turn this into a concrete roadmap to July 2027.

It will then offer a deep dive into the concrete impact of the new rules on KYC and KYT frameworks in practice, examining how the RTS reshape key components such as risk-based onboarding, the appropriate level of due diligence, perpetual KYC and ongoing, risk-based transaction monitoring.

The Masterclass will also address the evolution of accountability, roles and responsibilities, as well as supervisory expectations and practical implementation challenges, and will finally open a forward-looking discussion on innovation and emerging practices in AML: artificial intelligence, digital-only banks, the role of third parties and crypto-assets.

Designed as a concise and high-impact format, the Masterclass goes straight to the essentials, focusing on clear regulatory insights, concrete examples and takeaways that can be directly applied in practice.

The masterclass is followed by a closing networking session with appetizers.

Participation in the Masterclass on 15 September is worth 3 points for the continuing education of Compliance Officers (FSMA). Company lawyer (IBJ-IJE), Lawyers and trainee lawyers (OBFG & OVB) may submit an individual application.
