The Center of Excellence in Anti-Money Laundering is excited to announce an upcoming online training session titled „Understanding Proliferation Financing Risk: Threats, Vulnerabilities and Consequences”. In this session, we will introduce the audience to the risks associated with proliferation financing (PF) and the current landscape. We will explain how PF differs from money laundering (ML) and terrorist financing (TF). We will also explore emerging technologies and techniques for sanctions evasion and assess institutional exposure to these risks. Finally, we will present how to select appropriate compliance measures and navigate the complexities of this landscape.
During the session, experts will cover the following topics:
- What “PF risk” means under the FATF framework
- PF risk versus money-laundering and terrorist-financing risk
- Link to targeted financial sanctions
- Compliance response and managing risk without relying solely on automated screening
- Common emerging typologies and crypto element in sanctions evasion techniques and procurement processes
Experts will answer participants’ questions.
Target Audience: Employees of Lithuanian financial, regulatory, and law enforcement institutions.
Language: The online training will be conducted in English.

IMPORTANT: INFORMATION ABOUT CERTIFICATES
Training certificates are generated and sent automatically. Therefore, it is very important to enter your first and last name and email address, and to indicate that you wish to receive a training certificate when registering for the training event. You must also watch at least 70% of the training broadcast time.
The broadcast time is recorded only when:
– the broadcast window is open at full size (not minimized);
– the participant does not use (work with) other programs or email during the training.
The login link is individual, and the broadcast time needed to receive a certificate is recorded only when you watch via your personal link. If you share your individual link with colleagues, you may experience broadcast disruptions, and neither you nor your colleagues with whom you shared the link will receive a certificate. The broadcast time is also not recorded if you watch the training on the YouTube channel.
After the training ends, we delete all participant data, so we can’t issue certificates later.
