On 16 March 2022 KIELTYKA GLADKOWSKI will take part in the webinar organized by Withers and Sigma Ratings on AML compliance in the art market.
In 2020 a Senate Report was issued detailing the inadequate AML protocols in place by art market participants. This report illustrated sanctioned activities in the art market as examples of failed AML self-regulation by the art industry. With new sanctions now in place, this presents a second chance for the art industry to demonstrate that the industry can put AML protocols in place without the need for government imposed industry regulation.
