Overview and recent progress
- The Danish authorities’ efforts to strengthen cross-border anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) supervision continue to gather momentum.
- Since the Fund’s publication of a Selected Issues Paper on this subject in June 2019, the Danish authorities have made significant progress, including:
- conducting or participating in three multinational on-site inspections of banks;
- developing a new institutional risk assessment model;
- issuing an AML/CFT on-site inspection manual;
- and, via Act No. 1563 (2019), amending several pieces of legislation so as to bolster the monitoring and enforcement powers of the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority (DFSA), establish additional reporting requirements for the private sector, and stiffen the penalties for violations of AML/CFT obligations.
