AML Compliance Culture for CySEC Regulated Entities

Entities authorised and supervised by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) face a significant challenge in ensuring compliance with the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Framework. This challenge hinges on the cultivation of a robust compliance culture. It involves implementing measures and controls at both organisational and departmental levels, as well as fostering a culture of individual responsibility.
Over the past decade, entities regulated by CySEC have been obligated to meet a plethora of regulatory requirements addressing substantial risks related to money laundering and terrorist financing (ML/TF). Given the continuously evolving landscape of ML/TF practices and methods, it is imperative that relevant stakeholders remain vigilant and proactive in identifying and mitigating these risks.
