These sessions aim to empower the Botswanan authorities with the knowledge and tools necessary to conduct a National Risk Assessment (NRA) aligned with Rec 15. \nThe first three sessions\, conducted between April and May\, have now set a solid foundation for the NRA process. They covered key aspects such as the structure of the NRA for Virtual Assets (VA) and VASPs\, the use of analytical tools for risk-based supervision\, and the conduct of a questionnaire-based assessment.\n👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 These sessions enabled us to better understand and analyse the responses received\, ensuring a robust and comprehensive NRA. \nIn the recently concluded fourth session\, our experts delved into the crucial understanding of VA features and VASP operations. Focus was on comprehending the unique characteristics of VAs\, their potential attractiveness for money laundering and terrorist financing\, as well as gaining insights into VASP operations. \n👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽This knowledge will help Botswana develop effective strategies to mitigate risks associated with these emerging technologies. \n💡 The collaboration between the EU GF and Botswana exemplifies the power of international cooperation in combating financial crimes and ensuring the integrity of the global financial system. By enhancing the regulation and supervision of VASPs\, we are taking significant steps toward safeguarding the transparency and security of virtual asset transactions. \nSpecial thanks to Delphine Aupicon from the EU Delegation who shared the opening words of this session![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

These informative sessions delved into the world of AMLCFT for gaming\, covering crucial topics such as requirements\, typologies\, supervision\, risk assessment\, and coordination with other competent authorities like the FIU and/or the LEAs. This aligns perfectly with the actions emphasised in the FATF Post Observation Progress report. \n  \n💼 Today\, on May 19th\, we launched Session 3 on IO 3/Supervision\, going in-depth on the following crucial aspects: \n\n1️⃣ Identifying clients: Understanding the importance of accurately identifying clients within the gaming sector.\n2️⃣ Verifying information: Emphasising the significance of verifying client information to ensure transparency and accountability.\n3️⃣ Recording data: Highlighting the need to maintain proper records of all relevant information.\n4️⃣ Detecting suspicious transactions: Equipping participants with the skills to identify suspicious transactions within the gaming industry.\n5️⃣ Disseminating suspicious transactions to the FIU: Establishing effective channels for promptly reporting any suspicious activity to the Financial Intelligence Unit.\n\n  \nWe extend our sincere congratulations and gratitude to the gaming authority in Mozambique for their strong engagement and commitment towards enhancing AML/CFT practices in the country. \nSpecial thanks and recognition also to Paulo Lopes\, Gaming Authority in Portugal\, for his invaluable contributions and support in this endeavour.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
