Compliance with the Anti-Money Laundering legislation and regulations have become critical for various sectors of the
economy such as the financial, the legal etc. Auditors, accountants, lawyers, and administrative service providers are
required to always comply with the demanding regulations placed by the EU regulations, local legislation, and local
Regulatory Authorities (e.g., ICPAC, CYSEC, Central Bank of Cyprus etc.). The local legislation and EU regulations are
continuously amended, so that the use of professional judgement and skepticism is required at all stages of the Anti -
Money Laundering procedures followed by all parties involved. The aim of this course is to offer a thorough
understanding, for the junior staff up to the senior executive, of the current AML legislation as well as the compliance
requirements. The course blends smoothly the legislation and the various regulations with real scenarios making this a
very attractive course to its audience.
