Objectifs

Money laundering, terrorism financing and proliferation financing pose significant challenges with a substantial societal cost.

Headlines about scandals involving European financial institutions, the war in Ukraine and the support of Russian oligarchs in this conflict have only underscored the gravity of the issue.

The United Nations estimates that between 2 and 5% of the global GDP is laundered annually. Anti-Money Laundering (AML) / Counter Terrorism Financing (CTF) and Counter Proliferation Financing (CPF) are topics of the highest importance for the financial sector, facing an increased risk of being exploited by criminals.

In Luxembourg, it is the responsibility of the board of directors of investment funds and investment fund managers (IFMs) to ensure the compliance of their company or vehicles with applicable rules.

Our blended programme has been designed to meet the needs of this audience. It is divided into two parts: a digital session and a subsequent live session delivered by our most seasoned AML experts. Participants will first complete the digital session via PwC's Academy's eLearning platform then join their dedicated live session.

Our blended programme will allow participants:

To walk through important concepts pertaining to AML/CTF given participants' role, in a convenient and agile way.

We will cover in particular:

  • the legal and regulatory requirements in the area of AML/CTF/CPF;
  • the latest changes in the international, European and Luxembourg legal and regulatory frameworks;
  • the changes and the latest CSSF and FIU circulars, regulations and annual reports;
  • the professional obligations and responsibilities of board members as expected by Luxembourg AML/CTF/CPF regulations.

To prepare participants for the live session where we will interact around those important topics and their latest developments.
