This week's developments are limited to an ICPAC sanctions alert (no. 8/2026) and a technical alert, plus a CBA reminder to lawyers about the annual compliance questionnaire deadline. No FATF list changes, new EU sanctions packages, or legislative amendments are in this week's feed. The ICPAC alerts are the only item requiring attention across all obliged entities.
New sanctions alert issued by ICPAC — all obliged entities should review the alert content immediately and update screening lists and client exposure assessments accordingly.
Technical alert covering current typologies or operational guidance — compliance officers should review for sector-relevant red flags and circulate to front-office staff as applicable.
Lawyers regulated by the Cyprus Bar Association must submit the 2025 annual compliance questionnaire via the CBA portal before the deadline. Non-compliance may trigger supervisory action.
