The Wwft: what can and should we do with it?
The program of the Risk & Compliance Jaarcongres will kick off on Thursday, June 13, 2024, starting at 1:15 p.m. The Wwft as a subject is the focus of this. Namely, the theme is “The Wwft: what can and what should we do with it?”
The Wwft is causing a lot of headaches in practice. It affects many organizations, but also private individuals, including accountants and notaries, real estate and vehicle dealers, as well as safes rental companies, among others. Banks, payment service providers, trust companies are faced with a very complicated law, the Wwft, and many people working there are wondering how to deal with it in practice.
The intent of the law is undoubtedly good, which is to combat money laundering and terrorist financing. But what about in practice? According to many, financial institutions in particular have gone a bit overboard in their fear of the various regulators. And those supervisors, there are quite a few of them. We have, of course, De Nederlandsche Bank, the Stichting Autoriteit Financiële Markten and the Bureau Financieel Toezicht, as well as the Dean (lawyers), the Ministry of Finance and the Gaming Authority. Next we encounter the phenomenon of “unusual transactions. But who determines what is unusual and what about the duty to report to the FIU?
In short, enough headaches for an interesting afternoon with keynotes Helène Erftemeijer, Simon Lelieveldt and Richard Hoff and top experts such as Robin de Jongh and Anita van Dis, among others, from the field. But science is also featured thanks to the traditional Professor Debate during the networking dinner, led by our moderator Edwin Weller. The professors who will debate with each other and the attendees are Tom Loonen and Birgit Snijder-Kuipers.
