Eleni Poyiadji

Eleni has been with KPMG in Cyprus since 2005 and is a Principal in KPMG Cyprus’ Advisory, Risk Consulting department, focusing on Regulatory Compliance matters. Her areas of expertise are Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) and MiFID. She has mostly worked in the Financial Services sector, specifically in the provision of Investment Services as well as the Fiduciary Services sector. The provision of outsourced Internal Audit services at the beginning of her career has given her in-depth experience, knowledge, and practical understanding of relevant legislation, skills which were further strengthened by providing dedicated advisory services to a large number of financial institutions in Cyprus as well as Competent Authorities. The design and implementation of risk-based models is one of her focus areas, as she has supported numerous clients in developing relevant AML/CFT methodologies and has also assisted Regulators (in Cyprus and abroad) with the development of their Risk-Based Supervision Framework.
