Impact
With a combined population of about 6 million people, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are relatively small compared with the rest of the European Union. But their geopolitical importance and support of financial innovation give the Baltic nations an outsized impact in the wider world. Compliance professionals in these countries at the geographic periphery of Europe can find themselves at the center of the global fight against financial crime. The Baltic nations’ openness to transformative technologies and products must also incorporate barriers to money laundering. Complying with ever more complex layers of sanctions and export controls is even more difficult in countries that border Russia, its ally Belarus or both. Then there are the challenges that AML practitioners everywhere face: Protecting their institutions and customers from a flood of fraud, understanding how best to use transformative technology like generative AI, and staying current with changes to the regulatory landscape.
For these reasons and more, the ACAMS Anti-Financial Crime Symposium — Baltics is a must-attend event. Mark your calendar for March 26, 2025, in Vilnius, Lithuania, when financial industry experts and compliance professionals will convene for a day of intelligence-filled updates and guidance. If you’re looking to make an impact in the world of anti-financial crime, the resources you need are at this ACAMS symposium.
