The Assembly MENA 2023 | ACAMS | 6 November 2023 | Le Méridien Dubai Hotel & Conference Centre, Airport Rd - Garhoud - Dubai - UAE

Even though the region’s global importance is longstanding, the challenges faced by AML/AFC professionals are ever-changing. The growing adoption of virtual assets, stricter standards for identifying beneficial owners, and an increased focus on DNFBPs are just a few issues demanding compliance professionals’ attention. But the past shows us that new challenges become new opportunities if the right knowledge and skills are present. Even the shadow of greylisting falling over a few countries can have the silver lining of strengthening AML/CFT efforts regionally, as lessons are learned and applied.
