Why is AML/CFT training mandatory in North Macedonia?
The Law on the Prevention of Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism (Article 5, Article 12(1)(12) and Article 68(14)) defines the entities that must provide their employees with at least two AML/CFT trainings per year: financial institutions and their subsidiaries and branches, accountants, lawyers, notaries and other non-banking entities, and organisers of games of chance.
IARB regularly organises these trainings, online and as tailor-made trainings for individual entities. Participants receive a certificate of participation and the training materials. See our AML/CFT trainings and frequently asked questions.
