ACAMS Baltics Symposium 2023 | ACAMS | 21 March 2023 | Radisson Blu Hotel Olümpia Tallinn, 33 Liivalaia Street, 10118 Tallinn, Estonia

Sanctions management has always been a priority for compliance and anti-financial crime professionals in the Baltic region, but the issue has gained unrivaled gravity and urgency in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

This event will convene top experts, to authoritatively analyze sanctions and other pressing issues facing the region, and offer strategic solutions for managing unparalleled risks amid a volatile crisis.

The programme will explore:
• The compliance challenges posed by the Russian-Ukrainian war including strengthening sanctions risk management, building awareness of emerging sanctions evasion typologies and developing protocols to disrupt them, and managing risks such as ESG and human trafficking amid swelling numbers of refugees.
• Regional and global regulatory developments include the EU’s MiCA, FATF’s Travel Rule and cryptocurrency and VASP reform in Estonia and Lithuania.
• Correspondent banking challenges such as the lack of guidance on hybrid banking, and the surge of de-risking amid heightened concerns of potential PEP exposure.
