At the far eastern edge of Europe geographically, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are firmly established as a geopolitical hub and center of financial innovation. These two realities create compliance challenges unique to the Baltic region. Policies that encourage flexibility and experimentation must still conform with AML regulations. Proximity to Russia and its ally Belarus makes the Baltic countries a tempting launch pad for would-be evaders of sanctions and export controls. At the same time, compliance professionals must overcome the same challenges as AML practitioners everywhere: Detecting and preventing fraud, managing de-risking, understanding regulators’ priorities and finding ways to share information while abiding by legal restrictions.

For these reasons and more, the ACAMS Anti-Financial Crime Symposium – Baltics is a must-attend event for AML/AFC professionals. On March 27, 2024, at the Radisson Blu Latvija Conference & Spa Hotel in Riga, top regulators, financial industry experts and compliance practitioners will convene for a day of intelligence-filled guidance and updates. Join like-minded peers, top regulators and financial industry leaders for the context, clarity and connections you won’t find anywhere but an ACAMS event.
