Description

AML/CFT e-Learning: Identify, Monitor and Report in One Month

A short online programme to build the AML/CFT reflexes expected of every banking employee

  • 0.43 days — 3 h
  • In-person or virtual
  • Foundation
  • Up to 6 participants

Anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing obligations apply to every employee in contact with clients, not only to the compliance function. Client due diligence, risk-based vigilance, detection of unusual transactions and escalation of suspicion form a chain in which a single weak link is enough to place the institution at fault.

This e-learning programme, accessible for one month, builds the expected reflexes: identifying and verifying the client, adjusting vigilance to the level of risk, spotting unusual transactions and knowing to whom a suspicion should be escalated. The express format is designed for employees who need to get up to speed quickly.

Learning objectives

  • Identify the due diligence obligations applicable to your role
  • Verify the identity of the client and its beneficial owner
  • Adjust the level of vigilance to the risk presented
  • Spot an unusual transaction within your own activity
  • Escalate a suspicion through the prescribed internal channel

What makes this programme different

An online programme completed at your own pace over one month
Branch and account management situations reviewed and commented
Knowledge validation at each stage of the programme
