Anti-Money Laundering (AML): Prevention, Suppression and the Challenges Ahead
2023-12-04 09:00 - 17:15 (Europe/Athens) | Ground-Based / Limassol, 48 Spyrou Kyprianou, LTA Invictus - K Business Centre, 1st Floor, 4154, Cyprus
4 December, 2023

CPD hours: 7
Aim
Fighting money laundering and terrorist financing contributes to global security, integrity of the financial system and sustainable growth. Laws to combat money laundering and the financing of terrorism are designed to prevent the financial market from being misused for these purposes. It is essential that gatekeepers (administrative service providers, accountants, lawyers, banks and other obliged entities) apply measures to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing. Traceability of financial information has an important deterrent effect.
The 5th EU AML Directive (adopted into Cyprus Law in 23rd February 2021), builds on the 4th EU AML Directive and aims to further combat financial crime by boosting existing transparency rules. The 5th EU AML Directive also aims to ensure a tightening of current European regulations to prevent money laundering and the financing of terrorist activity.
The 6th EU AML Directive (adopted into Cyprus Law on 17th March 2021), harmonizes the definitions of money laundering offences throughout member states, with the primary aim to remove any loopholes in national legislations, a list of 22 predicate offences is introduced, criminal liability is extended to legal persons, tougher punishments for offenders is established, and cooperation between states for prosecutions of financial crimes is enhanced.
Objective
By the end of the seminar, participants will be able to have a thorough understanding of the current AML Legislation, the challenges ahead and the new compliance landscape and more importantly to offer practical solutions for an efficient and effective implementation through a number of real-life AML cases studies, both from Cyprus and Global AML experience.

IFRS 15 and IFRS 16 – Lessons Learned After Implementation (HRDA)
2023-12-05 09:00 - 17:15 UTC | Live Online
5 December, 2023

CPD hours: 7
Aim
The seminar intends to cover in-depth the principles of two very important IFRSs, the Revenue from Contracts with Customers and Leases (IFRS 15 and IFRS 16).
Revenue is one of the most debatable topics in financial reporting. IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers is effective from 1 January 2018 and mainly replaces IAS 18 Revenue Recognition and IAS 11 Construction Contracts.
In addition, the International Accounting Standard Board has issued a new standard on leases, IFRS 16 “Leases”. The effective date of the standard is 1 January 2019.
IFRS 16 is a major change of the way the entities account for leases because it removes the current lessee accounting treatment for operating and finance leases. Instead, the new standard introduces a single lessee accounting model.
Objective
The seminar includes detail coverage of the IFRS 15 and IFRS 16. On completion of this seminar participants should be able to:
• Gain understanding of the IFRS 15 & 16
• Be able to apply and evaluate the principles covered
• Read, comprehend and evaluate financial statements incorporating accounting information covered by these IFRSs.
• Identify differences to current accounting treatment
Participants’ Profile
