The main purpose of the webinar was to provide participants with practical recommendations on building and adapting financial monitoring systems to modern conditions. Particular attention was paid to discussing approaches to identifying complex risk schemes and sharing experiences of interaction with regulatory authorities. In the context of growing regulatory requirements, dynamic changes in the field of financial monitoring, sanctions policy, and regulatory expectations, effective risk management is becoming particularly important.
During the event, current trends in financial monitoring were reviewed, practical cases and management dilemmas were discussed. Participants actively joined the open discussion.
The webinar was presented by Anna Gorbenko, an expert with over 15 years of experience in the field of anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism. She specializes in building financial monitoring systems, internal investigations, staff training, and interaction with regulators. Hanna Gorbenko emphasized the importance of effective compliance with regulatory requirements:
Anna Gorbenko
«I know that all employees who specialize in financial monitoring practices are constantly concerned and worried about the changes proposed by the regulator. Nevertheless, we must not only comply with them, but also implement them as effectively as possible, because our goal is to prevent the banking sector from being abused for the purpose of legalizing proceeds obtained by criminal means».
At the end of the webinar, Anna Gorbenko noted that, despite the prospects for automation of financial monitoring, the system still needs qualified employees involved in this important area.
