You are cordially invited to register now for our upcoming seminar and networking event subjected:
The Latest Regulatory Developments arising from the Anti-Money Laundering Amendment Ordinance which came into force on June 1, 2023
EVENT DESCRIPTION:
The latest amendments enacted by the government in relation to implementing its stringent Anti-Money Laundering policy dictated by Financial Action Task Force embodied several changes involving DNFBPs (Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions). New requirements include the obligation to conduct a periodic self-assessment of risk and stricter monitoring by the regulatory profession.
As a result of changes to the Ordinance, the Law Society now has power of inspection of its members and firms in relation to their implementation of the requirements of Practice Direction P regarding Client Due Diligence requirements.
This seminar will focus on those changes and requirements as far as they pertain to law firms and to in-house lawyers.
