The European Commission has confirmed Romania’s right to strengthen professional regulation in the field of compliance (AML/CFT), based on the principle of “minimum harmonization”. In this context, the National Institute for Research and Development in Informatics – ICI Bucharest supports this endeavor through technical expertise in the development, auditing, and monitoring of secure digital infrastructures, essential for testing, certification, and professional training processes.
Dr. eng. Adrian-Victor Vevera, General Director of ICI Bucharest, is a member of the Interdisciplinary Council for Professional Testing, an advisory and supervisory body that validates testing, certification, and professional training processes in AML/CFT and international sanctions.
“The validation expressed by the European Commission confirms the importance of strengthening the national AML/CFT framework both from a legislative perspective and from a digital infrastructure and professional competence perspective. ICI Bucharest contributes to this endeavor through expertise in IT security and auditing, supporting the development of robust, transparent, and resilient mechanisms, essential for protecting financial integrity”, stated Dr. eng. Adrian-Victor Vevera, General Director of ICI Bucharest.
