A training on “Identifying money laundering and terrorist financing risks associated with corporate entities” was held on 15-16 January 2020, in Kyiv, Ukraine. The training aimed at fostering understanding of beneficial ownership requirements and developing practical skills on identifying beneficial owners of legal persons and legal arrangements in the course of preventive and law enforcement activities.
Reflecting the significant interest to the topic by a wide range of stakeholders, the training participants represented anti-money laundering and terrorist financing supervisory authorities including the National Bank of Ukraine, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Justice, National Securities and Stock Market Commission, State Financial Monitoring Service, law enforcement bodies including the Office of the Prosecutor General, National Police, Security Service, State Bureau of Investigations, National Anti-Corruption Bureau, State Tax Service, as well as the National Bar Association. As a result, inter-agency cooperation constituted a cross-cutting theme for the duration of the training. The participants were also presented with good practices and case studies on risk assessment methods for identification of domestic and international money laundering and terrorist financing threats and vulnerabilities associated with different types of legal persons and legal arrangements.
The training was organised within the EU/CoE Partnership for Good Governance II, Project “Strengthening measures to counter money laundering and financing of terrorism in Ukraine”.
