Description
This course goes in-depth with two complicated areas of AML work and encourages participants to adopt tried and tested measures for their discovery and management. It analyses how domestic and international trade is being subverted by money laundering activities and how serious a threat this is.
The course also classifies techniques used to conceal the true origin and beneficial ownership of assets and invites a critical analysis of the vulnerabilities that are exploited. It distinguishes between the major components of the risk-based approach and requires a critical eye to establish how they differ.
The course develops an actionable AML plan in alignment with the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and based on its five pillars.
The course will wrap with a summary of the key learning points, followed by an action planning exercise with a view to apply the acquired knowledge and skills immediately upon your return to work. Post-course support is also available in relation to the implementation of your action plan, up to six (6) months following course completion.
