A number of stakeholders from the AMLU\, the Central Bank of Jordan and the Companies Control Department along with competent authorities have worked together on designing and implementing the assessment of the AML/CFT risks and the misuse of legal persons and legal arrangements\, using a leading-edge methodology. \n  \nIn her opening remarks\, Head of the Anti-Money Laundering Unit of Jordan\, Samya Abu Sharif\, noted: “the topic of today’s workshop is an indication of the important role of all national agencies in promoting the necessary actions to combat the risks of money-laundering and terrorist financing associated with legal persons and legal arrangements at the national level.” \n“Understanding the potential threats\, and strengthening the system to achieve increased transparency for the legal persons and the legal arrangements and developing national programmes in partnership with the private sector to reduce their impact is a crucial objective of thjs assessment work.”  \n“The results of the assessment presented today will help us better understand and be directed towards high-risk aspects in order to prevent criminals from exploiting legal persons and legal arrangements in ML/TF crimes\,” she added. \nFor his part\, EU Global Facility Key Expert on Beneficial Ownership Alexandre Taymans commended the “successful work and important efforts put together by Jordan to conduct this exercise in such a structured and timely manner”. \n“As the dissemination of the findings of this assessment are now launched\, such a milestone calls for and paves the way for an enhanced engagement between competent authorities\, as well as with the private sector to ensure that the recommendations and the mitigating measures identified by the working group will be fully implemented before the next update to the risk assessment\,” he stated. \nThe EU Global Facility has developed a dedicated methodology for the risk assessment of legal persons and arrangements to assist partner jurisdictions with a methodology that can be tailored to their specific context. \nThis activity is a milestone for any country implementing a BO disclosure framework as it will help them identify the risk jurisdictions are facing from the misuse of legal vehicles both at national and international level. This risk assessment is also to be put in the context of the renewed and increasing focus the FATF’s new recommendation 24 (April 2022) has put on this challenging exercise for jurisdictions considering the scope of such exercise\, the number and variety of stakeholders involved and the level of technical expertise it requires.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

This will serve to discuss the specific features and mechanisms through which beneficial ownership information can be registered\, vetted and enforced. \nAdriana del Pilar Solano Cantor\, Deputy Director of the Tax Registry Administration in Colombia\, stated that “This workshop will enable Colombia to identify good practices for the deployment of such beneficial ownership registries\, the existing opportunities for improvement of the regulatory framework and IT system in Colombia and the development of new features in the registry such as the registration of the chain of ownership and control. Similarly\, this exchange of experience will also serve to identify areas of improvement in the technical framework”. \nFor his part Alexandre Taymans\, Key Expert of the EU Global Facility on Beneficial Ownership\, celebrated the launch of this first beneficial ownership training in Colombia. He noted the fact that Colombia already had an operational beneficial ownership registration system and good understanding of the issues that it will face\, both in terms of ensuring the availability\, quality and accessibility of the information\, which will ensure very fruitful discussions and exchanges. He also indicated that beyond the training and exchange of experiences\, this activity was also aimed at identifying areas of future cooperation in areas where the expertise of the Global Facility could be deployed to support Colombian authorities. \nOn Thursday\, other competent authorities from Colombia will attend a session focusing on international standards and best practices on the topic of Beneficial Ownership as well as the tools that can be developed to enhance the understanding of BO disclosure requirements. \nThe sessions will also cover the verification and supervision mechanisms that can be implemented by jurisdictions to ensure that frameworks are effectively implemented by both private and public sector stakeholders.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Topics included in the agenda cover legal and regulatory considerations\, supervision and onsite inspection\, data analytics and the role of IT systems\, as well as interagency cooperation\, among others.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
