Rome - 10 April 2014 - Almawave, Academia Edizione e Formazione and Studio Legale Fisicaro, in collaboration with Bureau van Dijk, Wolters Kluwer and SGR Consulting, present the new Anti-Money Laundering Italy Portal, an essential tool for ensuring compliance with the requirements of anti-money laundering legislation, aimed at notaries, lawyers, accountants, employment consultants, auditors and financial intermediaries. The portal will be demonstrated today at the 2nd Salone Antiriciclaggio (International Anti-Money Laundering Fair), organised by SGR Consulting.

The services offered, thanks to close partnerships with the best information providers worldwide, enable users to get up-to-date information and support from a single access point.

The Anti-Money Laundering Italy Portal ensures compliance with and fulfilment of anti-money laundering obligations during inspections and the implementation of safety measures for persons subject to anti-money laundering legislation, in relation to:

  • the suitability of organisational and procedural arrangements
  • fulfilment of appropriate customer due diligence
  • staff training

The full version of the platform is now available online at www.antiriciclaggioitalia.it

The portal offers a complete archive of documents in the field of anti-money laundering, relating to primary and secondary legislation, Court of Cassation judgements, doctrine, circulars and additional material provided by Wolters Kluwer. A unique information database continuously updated in line with ongoing developments in legislative and judicial matters. It enables users to save time and energy in searching for documents, which are always available in the current text.

The portal's document search function uses Iride, the semantic-ontological analysis engine by Almawave, which allows the navigation and cataloguing of the complex content of the documents in a targeted, selective and intuitive manner, largely with concepts expressed in natural language. It is an "intelligent" and advanced search and navigation tool that allows the user to implement in-depth analysis and accurate selections, going beyond the simple "keyword" search model.

An easy to use dynamic and interactive online questionnaire guides the user through all the due diligence procedures of the customer and beneficial owner, as provided for by Legislative Decree 231/2007. Completion of the questionnaire allows the user to implement safety measures for persons subject to anti-money-laundering obligations.

The Anti-Money Laundering Italy Portal provides access to information in the main national and international databases and, through a targeted investigation of the shareholding structure of the client company, allows the identification of the Beneficial Owner or the natural person who ultimately owns or controls the company. The service is supplemented by Bureau van Dijk, a world leader in the provision of solutions and financial information. Within the space of a few minutes, users can obtain information that would otherwise require time-consuming, complex and costly investigations. This also applies for user groups whose companies are spread across different states.

Thanks to the direct contribution of Studio Legale Fisicaro, the service can provide rapid online legal advice on anti-money laundering and entities' administrative liabilities. It also offers online courses accessed according to learners' availability and locationand classroom training with certification issued by Società Academia Edizione e Formazione, pursuant to Article 54 of Legislative Decree 231 of 2007 for those responsible for anti-money laundering and reporting suspicious transactions. It provides, for those eligible, certification of anti-money-laundering competence. Candidates who pass the rigorous certification exam emerge as experts, fully qualified to undertake complex anti-money-laundering tasks for banks and insurance companies in Europe. There is also a weekly newsletter that provides punctual and precise reports on major anti-money-laundering news.
