The session will then proceed with identifying which consequences (penalties/interest/assessments) are applicable when the relevant VAT provisions are not adhered to and why (including references to the various parts of the legislation which list down when such consequences are triggered and the applicable conditions). Finally, the session will discuss practical tips and actions which may be taken by involved parties with a view to ensure that such VAT risks are minimised as much as possible.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

This 3‑hour session will introduce participants to the transfer pricing treatment of intra‑group services with a focus on the OECD benefit test. It will explain how to distinguish genuine services from shareholder activities, duplicative services and incidental group synergies, and will touch on the concept of low‑value‑adding intra‑group services and simplified approaches. Recent international controversy trends and selected court decisions will be used to illustrate how tax authorities challenge management and head‑office fees, allocation keys and documentation. By the end of the session, participants will be able to identify and distinguish different types of intra‑group services, apply the OECD benefit test in practice, and critically assess facts and circumstances to understand how transfer pricing principles are applied to common day‑to‑day situations.

Specific topics to be covered during the sessioN

• Overview of intra group services for TP purposes
• The OECD benefit test: what it is and how to apply it in practice
• Distinguishing genuine services from shareholder activities, duplication and incidental synergies
• Low value adding intra group services (LVAS) and simplified approaches
• Typical intra group service models (cost plus, fixed fee, pass through) and how they are priced
• TP risks, practical issues and documentation
• Recent international cases and examples reflecting typical TP issues on intra group services

Why is the session of relevance to our members?

This session equips MIA members with practical tools to identify, price and document intra group services in line with the OECD TP Guidelines, reducing the risk of transfer pricing adjustments and double taxation. By working through international standards and real cases, participants will better anticipate tax authority challenges and strengthen the defensibility of their clients’ or organisations’ service charge arrangements.

Why is the session of relevance to our members?

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.
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.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

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.
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.
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.

SPECIFIC TOPICS TO BE COVERED DURING THE SESSION

Introduction to Customer Risk Assessment (CRA): Purpose and regulatory expectations.
Customer Risk Assessment and Onboarding: Understanding your customer and determining the appropriate level of due diligence.
The Interaction between the CRA and the BRA: Ensuring customer risks are assessed consistently within the firm's overall risk framework.
Applying the Risk-Based Approach: Using customer risk assessments to determine the appropriate level of CDD, EDD, and ongoing monitoring.
Common Challenges and Best Practices: Practical examples and common deficiencies identified during supervisory reviews.

Why is the session of relevance to our members?

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.

M26100 - Related Parties: Meeting GAPSME And IFRS Requirements (Online)

Location
Online Webinar

Registration Time: 09:00
Sessions Time: 09:15 - 12:30 including a 15-minute break
Speaker: Mr Paul Zammit
Venue: Online Webinar

Participation Fees
MIA Members: €40.00
Non-MIA Members: €75.00
Retired Members: €20.00
Students: €30.00

*Group bookings for 3 or more participants available.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Transactions between related parties are common in practice and may significantly influence an entity's financial position, financial performance and cash flows. Although such transactions are often undertaken on normal commercial terms, the existence of relationships between related parties may affect business decisions in ways that are not always apparent from the face of the financial statements.

Financial reporting frameworks therefore require entities to identify related parties, understand the nature of the relationships involved, and provide appropriate disclosures that enable users of financial statements to appreciate the potential impact of those relationships.

This session provides participants with a practical understanding of the related party requirements under GAPSME and IAS 24 'Related Party Disclosures'. Emphasis will be placed on identifying related parties, distinguishing between relationships, balances and transactions that require disclosure, understanding the different disclosure requirements applicable under each framework, and applying these principles through practical examples commonly encountered in Malta.

SPECIFIC TOPICS TO BE COVERED DURING THE SESSION

This three-hour CPE will be split into the following parts
Part 1 – GAPSME Small
Part 2 – GAPSME Medium
Part 3 – IFRS
For each part, we will be covering the definition of related parties, how activities with related parties may be appropriately disclosed in the financial statements and any special considerations to make (or pitfalls to be aware of).

Why is the session of relevance to our members?

In practice, members might be struggling to meet the requirements to be IFRS- or GAPSME- compliant.

Failure to identify related party relationships or transactions may result in incomplete financial statements, regulatory issues, audit findings, or misleading information for users.

This session aims to provide members with a practical framework for proactively and effectively identifying related parties, understanding the differing requirements under GAPSME and IFRS, and applying these principles confidently when preparing or reviewing financial statements.

Target Audience

Practising accountants, auditors, finance professionals, company accountants, and other practitioners involved in the preparation, review, or interpretation of financial statements prepared under GAPSME or IFRS. The session will also be beneficial to accounting students and professionals wishing to strengthen their understanding of related party disclosure requirements
