The EU’s fight against financial crime: Diving into the Anti-Money Laundering Action plan

On 10 June, in collaboration with the European Contact Group and Transparency International, we held a live online webinar looking at fighting financial crime in the EU. This followed the release of the European Commission’s Action Plan on Anti-Money Laundering. We were joined by an expert panel to answer questions & share ideas on how to refine and implement this action plan. The debate covered:

• Which aspects should be regulated?
• How to achieve effective implementation and enforcement across the EU?
• What would be the role for an EU anti-money laundering supervisor?
• Which sectors need to be better covered?
• How can auditors help combat money laundering and terrorist financing?

Speakers:

• Raluca Pruna, Head of Unit, Financial Crime, DG FISMA, European Commission
• Sebastien de Brouwer, Chief Policy Officer, European Banking Federation
• Angela Foyle, Chair, Anti-Money Laundering Working Party, Accountancy Europe
• Helge Olsson, Financial Services Assurance, EY
