Special Briefing: The Third Money Laundering Directive
31 January 2008
Sidley Austin LLP, Woolgate Exchange, 25 Basinghall Street, London, EC2V 5HA
Introduction:
E-Finance & Payments Law & Policy is organising a half-day Special Briefing on the Third Money Laundering Directive, hosted at the London offices of financial law specialists Sidley Austin LLP, on 31 January 2008.
On 15 December, EU Member States will bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary for business to comply with the EU’s Third Money Laundering Directive. The Briefing will clarify this legally complex, pan-jurisdictional issue.
While the creation of a single European market for financial services creates opportunities for legitimate businesses, it may also provide opportunity for money laundering and financial crime. The Briefing will provide expert legal analysis and practical guidance from seasoned Anti-Money Laundering (AML) practitioners to enable delegates to implement best practice in complying with the Third Money Laundering Directive.
Speakers will include:
• Sidley Austin LLP (chairing and speaking);
• Her Majesty’s Treasury;
• Financial Services Authority;
• Electronic Money Association / Joint Money Laundering Steering Group.
The main issues under discussion at the Special Briefing will be:
- Background and reasons for implementation of the Third Money Laundering Directive and UK implementation.
- What are the key legal issues with the Third Money Laundering Directive and its UK implementation.
- Practical issues with Anti-Money Laundering compliance.
- Live case study on Anti-Money Laundering compliance.
- Cross-border issues with Anti-Money Laundering compliance. How do you deal with Anti-Money Laundering on a cross-border basis with different requirements in different countries. Specific reference will be made to cross-border Anti-Money Laundering issues with prepaid cards.
- How will the Third Money Laundering Directive affect the Payments Industry
- Panel Discussion with all speakers.
