International Compliance Forum: AMLA and the new European reality in the spotlight

The creation of the new European Authority for Anti-Money Laundering (AMLA) is reshaping the foundations of regulatory compliance at a European level. Aiming to enhance transparency and more effectively enforce the EU framework, AMLA seeks to unify supervisory approaches and guide businesses and member states in formulating policies that respond to modern challenges.

In this context, the 11th International Compliance Forum, taking place on May 22 2025 at the Parklane Resort & Spa in Limassol, emerges as a meeting point for top executives, experts, and professionals in the field for meaningful exchanges of views and experiences. The forum will focus on digital transformation and its impact on the regulatory environment, analysing technological developments that are redefining the prevention of financial crime and global compliance standards.
