Ultimate Beneficial Ownership Identification

In the Maldives, identifying the ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) can be particularly complex due to layered ownership structures, offshore company involvement, and limited corporate transparency. This session will delve into practical techniques for tracing beneficial ownership, highlighting regional risks like real estate-linked money laundering and the misuse of shell entities. Attendees will gain clarity on regulatory expectations, red flags specific to the Maldivian economy, and tools that can support enhanced UBO detection and verification efforts.

Networking Lunch

1.30 pm - 2.45 pm

Panel Discussion on Effective Implementation of the Risk-Based Approach to AML/CFT

This panel will explore the practical application of the risk-based approach in the Maldivian context, where financial institutions must navigate unique challenges such as limited access to informal financial channels, and risks stemming from cross-border flows tied to tourism and trade. Panellists will discuss how to tailor customer risk profiling, enhance due diligence controls, and balance regulatory expectations with operational realities in an island economy.
