FinCrime Fighters Breakfast x ACAMS Baltics Chapter - AMLR, AMLA & the Future of AML in the Baltics
From AMLR to reality: what the new EU AML framework means in practice
☕ After quite some time without an ACAMS Baltics Chapter event in Lithuania, we’re pleased to resume the series with a FinCrime Fighters Breakfast x ACAMS Baltics session focused on the practical impact of AMLR, AMLA, and the EU’s evolving AML framework.
As the new regulatory architecture takes shape, financial institutions are entering a new phase of expectations.
With AMLR introducing directly applicable rules across the EU and AMLA preparing to centralise supervision and coordination, the impact goes far beyond regulatory texts – it is already reshaping how AML/CFT functions operate in practice.
From digital identity and onboarding, to sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, and data management, institutions will need to reassess parts of their existing AML stack – not just to remain compliant, but to stay efficient and scalable.
This session brings together senior AML/CFT professionals, regulators, and industry experts to explore what these changes mean in real, operational terms.
🎓 Participants can earn up to 2 ACAMS credits for attending this event.

Janis Kaulins ACAMS Baltics Chapter Board Member & Europe Central Financial Services Industry Leader – Forensics & Financial Crime, EY
