The School of Economics and Management of the University of Minho (EEG) is hosting the EEGConnect session on “Money Laundering” on October 25, 2024, at 5:30 p.m. in the EEG's dst auditorium.
This session will feature guest speakers José Pedro: Founder and CEO Coming Future Lda. | Consultant in the areas of accounting, tax, and money laundering and Margarida Varejão: Banco Montepio - Compliance Department | Prevention of ML/TF Department
The session ‘Money Laundering’ explores the theme of
transparency and lawfulness in the business of companies and organisations,
with a focus on the Legal Framework for the Prevention of Money Laundering and
the Beneficial Owner Register. The Legal Framework for the Prevention of Money
Laundering (Law no. 83/2017, of 18 August) establishes measures to combat money
laundering and terrorist financing.
The purpose of the Beneficial Ownership Register (Law 89/2017 of 21 August) is
to increase transparency and prevent the misuse of entities for illegitimate
purposes, such as money laundering and fraud. This register allows the
authorities to have clearer knowledge of the true beneficiaries of entities,
helping to prevent and combat illicit activities. The session will also present
the main measures to prevent and combat money laundering implemented in the
banking sector in Portugal.
The session is part of the cycle of lectures entitled EEGConnect@eeg, promoted as part of the EEGenerating Skills Development Program.
The language in this session is portuguese.
