Description
With increasing regulatory scrutiny and the growing sophistication of financial crimes, it is essential for legal practitioners to stay ahead of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CFT) requirements. This training is designed to provide you with a clear and practical understanding of your obligations under the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (“AMLA”).
The session will be delivered in two parts — a theoretical overview followed by an interactive, scenario-based workshop. Participants will be guided through real-world examples to help develop or enhance AMLA compliance policies for their firms, and to implement them effectively in practice.
The training will be led by an experienced and certified AML/CFT trainer for Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (“DNFBPs”), who brings a wealth of practical knowledge and insight. With a focus on real-world application, the session promises to be both engaging and relevant — providing you with the tools you need to navigate AMLA compliance with clarity and confidence.
