Compliance Advisory Model

Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) regulations is crucial for financial institutions and entities regulated by the Central Bank of Cyprus (CBC), the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC), the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Cyprus (ICPAC) and the Cyprus Bar Association (CBA). 

By partnering with compliance experts, companies can reduce costs, enhance value, and manage risk effectively, ensuring alignment with overall organizational strategies. AML compliance is not only a legal requirement but also a vital component in maintaining the integrity and security of the financial system in Cyprus and in any country. Furthermore, regulated entities play a pivotal role in preventing illicit financial activities and protecting both themselves and their clients.

Compliance services play a crucial role in helping businesses navigate the intricate landscape of rules and regulations. Organizations may require assistance in conforming to industry-specific laws, legal requirements and evolving standards. As companies face challenges like rapid globalization and heightened demands for transparency, compliance services step in to guide them.

​What is the 7 Step ESG Reporting Process?

What is the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development?

Starting from 2024, almost 50,000 companies are subject to mandatory sustainability reporting, including non-EU companies which have subsidiaries operating within the EU or are listed on EU regulated markets.

For 2024

Companies subject to NFRD

For 2025

Large companies not subject to NFRD

For 2026

Listed SMEs

For 2028

Companies listed in EU regulated markets, companies with subsidiaries in the EU & companies outside of the EU  with > 150 mln Euro turnover at the group level

The NFRD (Non Financial Reporting Directive) applies to large listed companies, banks, or insurance companies that meet certain criteria, such as having:

  • a balance sheet total in excess of €20 million, 
  • a turnover in excess of €40 million, or 
  • an average number of employees in excess of 500 during the fiscal year.

Many companies and organizations voluntarily choose to produce ESG reports to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability, social responsibility, and ethical practices.

These reports provide transparency about their impact on the environment, treatment of employees, and governance practices. While not obligatory, they are increasingly valued by investors, stakeholders, and the public.

  The 17 SDGs, adopted globally in 2015, promote peace, prosperity, and sustainable development for people and the planet.
