&lt;h5 style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;

&lt;h5&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Directorship services remain a key focus area for regulatory scrutiny in Malta. Drawing on recent supervisory findings and enforcement insights published by the FIAU, this session will provide a practical deep dive into red flags, transaction monitoring failures, governance weaknesses, and trigger events that require reassessment. Whether you provide directorship services directly or oversee compliance within your organisation, this session will equip you with the tools to strengthen monitoring frameworks, mitigate regulatory exposure, and align your practices with current supervisory expectations. Attendance is highly recommended for both members and non-members seeking to enhance their AML/CFT compliance and governance standards.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;

&lt;h4 style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#7A0026"&gt;SPECIFIC TOPICS TO BE COVERED DURING THE SESSION&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;h5 style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;

&lt;h5&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;The webinar will focus on Trade-Based Money Laundering (TBML), providing participants with an overview of how illicit funds can be moved through international trade transactions. The session will explore common TBML methods and typologies, highlighting how criminals manipulate trade documentation, pricing, quantities, and shipping arrangements to disguise the movement of value. It will also highlight red flags to be identified by subject persons while presenting case studies on the topic.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;

&lt;h4 style="font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#7A0026"&gt;SPECIFIC TOPICS TO BE COVERED DURING THE SESSION&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;h5 style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;

&lt;h5&gt;• &lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;What is TBML&lt;br&gt;
• The importance of tackling TBML&lt;br&gt;
• What patterns &amp;amp; methodologies are identified?&lt;br&gt;
• TBML Red Flags&lt;br&gt;
• Case Studies&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;

&lt;h5&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Given the growing prevalence of Trade-Based Money Laundering (TBML), it is important for all stakeholders within the industry to enhance their awareness and understanding of this risk. Strengthening knowledge of TBML typologies, associated red flags, and emerging methods can support more effective identification, detection, and mitigation of potential illicit activities&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;

&lt;h5 style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;

&lt;h5&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;The rapid growth of crypto-assets has brought increased regulatory scrutiny, placing Crypto-Asset Service Providers (CASPs) at the forefront of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance efforts. At the same time, other obliged entities and service providers interacting with CASPs—such as financial institutions, payment providers, and corporate service providers—are increasingly exposed to crypto-related risks.&lt;br&gt;
A key development in this space is the implementation of the Travel Rule, which introduces new requirements around the collection and sharing of originator and beneficiary information in crypto transactions. This creates both operational and compliance challenges for CASPs and their counterparties.&lt;br&gt;
As regulatory expectations continue to evolve, organisations must ensure they are equipped to identify, assess, and respond to financial crime risks effectively.&lt;br&gt;
This session provides a practical introduction to AML fundamentals within the crypto environment, with a strong focus on recognising red flags, understanding Travel Rule obligations, and applying risk-based controls in day-to-day operations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;

&lt;h5 style=""&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;

&lt;h5&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;As regulatory expectations tighten, including the implementation of the Travel Rule, CASPs face increasing compliance complexity and scrutiny. Many organisations are still navigating how to apply these requirements effectively in practice.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;This session delivers practical, real-world insights into crypto-related AML risks, highlighting common red flags and key implementation challenges. Attendees will gain actionable knowledge to strengthen compliance frameworks, improve detection of suspicious activity, and better manage regulatory expectations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;

&lt;h5&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;A robust Customer Risk Assessment (CRA) is fundamental to an effective risk-based approach (RBA) to AML/CFT. It enables organisations to understand who their customers are, assess the level of money laundering and terrorist financing risk they present, and apply proportionate due diligence measures throughout the customer relationship.&lt;br&gt;
Customer risk assessments play a critical role in the onboarding process, ensuring that firms collect the appropriate information, apply the correct level of Customer Due Diligence (CDD), and identify where Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) may be required. They should also align with the firm's Business Risk Assessment (BRA) to ensure customer risks are assessed consistently within the organisation's overall risk framework.&lt;br&gt;
This practical session will provide attendees with a clear understanding of customer risk assessments, their interaction with the Business Risk Assessment, and how to apply the risk-based approach effectively in line with regulatory expectations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;

&lt;h5 style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;An effective Customer Risk Assessment is the foundation of a strong AML/CFT framework. This session will provide practical guidance on conducting customer risk assessments, strengthening onboarding processes, and applying a consistent risk-based approach in line with regulatory expectations. Attendees will gain practical insights to enhance compliance and improve the effectiveness of their AML/CFT controls.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;

&lt;h5&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;In AML/CFT compliance, completing the relevant checks is only part of the task. Firms must also be able to demonstrate what was considered, what evidence was obtained, how risk was assessed and why a particular decision was reached.&lt;br&gt;
Building Defensible AML Files is a practical webinar examining the customer file through the lens of regulatory scrutiny. It considers how the applicable AML/CFT framework translates into the information, evidence, reasoning and audit trail that should be visible throughout the lifecycle of a customer relationship.&lt;br&gt;
The session will move beyond simply identifying what documentation should be held. It will focus on what makes an AML file coherent and defensible, from customer acceptance and CDD through to risk assessment, source of wealth and source of funds, ongoing monitoring, internal escalation and, ultimately, termination and record retention. These are the principal stages around which the training material has been structured.&lt;br&gt;
The webinar will combine regulatory requirements with practical examples and case-based discussion, helping participants consider whether their own files clearly evidence not only what was done, but why.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;

&lt;h5 style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;

&lt;h5&gt;A compliant process is only as defensible as the evidence left behind. This practical webinar will help participants look at AML files from the perspective of the person who may eventually have to review, challenge or examine them. Rather than focusing only on whether required documentation has been collected, the session explores whether the file tells a coherent story: how the customer was assessed, what evidence supported key conclusions, why particular decisions were made, and how those decisions continued to be tested throughout the relationship. Participants will leave with practical insights they can apply when onboarding customers, conducting reviews, documenting source of wealth and funds, closing monitoring alerts, assessing risk or remediating existing files.&lt;/h5&gt;
