About this learning event

This workshop provides a practical and supervisory focused exploration of current and emerging challenges in anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT). It brings together experienced supervisors and experts to examine how evolving financial crime risks driven by crypto assets, technological innovation, third-party dependencies, and geopolitical instability are reshaping the supervisory landscape.

Through expert-led sessions, case studies, and hands-on discussions, participants will deepen their understanding of how to identify, assess, and mitigate money laundering and terrorist financing risks at both institutional and sectoral levels. The programme places strong emphasis on real-world supervisory practices, including on-site and off-site risk assessments, implementation of targeted financial sanctions, and the use of advanced SupTech and data-driven tools to detect emerging risks.

The workshop also highlights practical experiences from EU and regional authorities, fostering peer exchange and strengthening supervisory capacity to safeguard financial stability and the integrity of the financial system.
