This course covers the principles behind developing robust AML/CFT policies, procedures and controls and more.
Determining your risk appetite, identifying threats and assessing their likelihood and impact is all well and good. But at some point, every business needs to manage their risks. They need to take action to maximise upside risk and minimise downside risk.
This course is packed full of practical advice about managing money laundering and terrorist financing risks. It covers the responsibilities of senior management and the principles behind developing good, robust AML/CFT policies, procedures and controls. It also includes sections on how to know your customers, audit and monitor AML/CFT activities effectively, deal with suspicious activities, make reports and train staff.
‘Managing money laundering risks’ is suitable for those working in risk management within a card acquirer, payment service provider or bank, as well as those working in other regulated sectors (e.g. lawyers, notaries, accountants, insurers), required to develop an effective, risk-based AML compliance framework.
