Compliance with all regulations and requirements in the field of anti-money laundering presents major challenges for many due diligence officers. Not only must they maintain an overview of all relevant rules, but they must also be able to identify and prevent misuse for the purposes of money laundering or terrorist financing at an early stage.

The requirements for the role of the due diligence officer have also increased rapidly in recent years and will continue to do so. To keep pace, it is essential to develop broad, interconnected knowledge.

Participation in this course provides you with more than just basic knowledge. You will gain in-depth insight into the principles of identifying and monitoring money laundering and terrorist financing risks.

The Intensive Course on Due Diligence Obligations is delivered in cooperation with the FMA Financial Market Authority Liechtenstein and CLL Compliance Labs Liechtenstein. This event is recognised as professional training and professional education under Art. 21 SPG in conjunction with Art. 32 SPV, and as evidence within the meaning of Art. 36 SPV for a total of 3 days.

DORA – Simplified ICT Risk Management Framework for Asset Management Companies

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) sets requirements for digital operational resilience. Article 16 DORA, invoking the principle of proportionality, provides that certain financial firms – including Class 3 investment firms such as asset management companies – are subject to a “simplified ICT risk management framework” compared to larger financial institutions.

Certain aspects of this simplified framework have also been detailed in a Delegated Regulation (2024/1774). This themed evening offers an introduction to the IT risk supervisory regime under DORA, provides insight into the regulatory simplifications for asset management companies and examines the extent to which the principle of proportionality is actually applied.

This professional education offering is held at regular intervals. The next session and registration options can be found here when available.
