AML 4th Directive

AML 4th Directive

The 4th Anti-Money Laundering Directive expands the Third Directive by broadening AML oversight to include new areas such as external threats to domestic markets, while introducing more stringent rules regarding ultimate beneficial ownership. That in turn will require intensifying compliance efforts in areas like correspondent banking and asset management. In this seminar, expert panelists detail smart strategies for incorporating the Fourth Directive initiatives into existing compliance functions.
