In doing so, the following focal points formulated by HQ are guiding:

Externally

HQ is committed to and makes proposals on how, in practice, trust offices can perform their work as gatekeepers more effectively, expediently and efficiently. In this way, a contribution is made to the integrity of the Dutch financial system.

So what are we going to do:

  • Working on an unambiguous definition of the UBO, trying to come up with an alternative to the pseudo-UBO and at the same time trying to prevent the source-of-wealth obligation from applying to a pseudo-UBO. Keeping a finger on the pulse of developments AMLD;
  • Thinking along about next steps in tightening up criteria for the trust sector and seeking cooperation on tackling illegal trust activities;
  • Monitoring developments about and attempting to influence the impact and content of ATAD 3;
  • Commenting on and thinking along about the approach to money laundering and changes in the Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Act (Wwft) and achieving better cooperation within the financial chain;
  • Contributing to an efficient, effective modernisation of the Dutch sanctions system;
  • Making agreements with banks to be able to open bank accounts in the Netherlands;
  • Opening our doors to welcome stakeholders and show who we are and what we do. We respond publicly to parties that present a picture of the sector from the past and contribute to a better overall picture of the financial sector.

Internally

For HQ to function properly as a platform, various internal matters must serve it. Members are kept informed of conversations, actions and meetings in various ways.'

So what are we going to do:

  • Thinking about and tightening up the PE programme;

  • Improving the process of review of the internal audit by the external review committee;
  • Give priority attention to embedding SIRA in business operations of members;
