Ein Überblick über die Umsetzungsbemühungen und Auswirkungen in der DACH-Region!

Als Professionals im Geldwäschebereich müssen wir uns der Herausforderung stellen, mit einem sich ständig ändernden regulatorischem Umfeld Schritt zu halten.

Der weitreichende Umfang der 4. EU-Geldwäscherichtlinie mit ihrer Übersetzung in das deutsche und österreichische Geldwäscherecht hat noch nicht seine vollen operativen Auswirkungen gezeigt, da wird bereits die 5. Geldwäscherichtlinie verabschiedet und Diskussionen über eine 6. Geldwäscherichtlinie dauern an. Dies stellt definitiv eine außergewöhnliche Situation dar.

Viele Banken in Deutschland und Österreich ringen mit der Umsetzung der Änderungen aus der 4. Geldwäscherichtlinie wie sie Einzug in die nationalen Geldwäschegesetze in Deutschland und Österreich gefunden haben.

Wie denken führende Experten darüber? Seien Sie mit dabei, wenn Experten aus dem Geldwäschebereich darüber diskutieren wie man das sich ständig ändernde regulatorische Umfeld des Geldwäscherechts effektiv steuert. Unsere Diskussionsrunde wird Ihnen aktuelle Informationen zur gegenwärtigen Implementierung geben, sowie mit Ihnen Lessons Learned und Best Practices für zukünftige Umsetzungen teilen. Zusätzlich wird Ihnen unser Panel auch einen Ausblick auf die europäischen Entwicklungen im Geldwäscherecht geben, die uns in der nächsten Zukunft erwarten.

Lernziele

• Erfahren Sie mehr über den aktuellen Umsetzungsstand in Deutschland und Österreich
• Folgen Sie einer spannenden Diskussion zu Lessons Learned- und Best Practice-Ansätzen, um Ihre zukünftigen Implementierungen zu unterstützen
