Description
The global financial landscape is constantly evolving, and with that comes an ever-increasing risk of financial crimes and terrorism financing. This workshop will equip you with the knowledge and tools to identify and combat these threats, thus safeguarding our institution and its members.
This workshop will feature practical scenario-based training when dealing with AMLA compliance and aims to enable participants to draft AMLA compliance policies and effectively implement them within their firms. The workshop will be divided into two sessions: theory and practical.
Our trainers will break down the essentials into practical and easy-to-understand concepts, empowering you to stay compliant with ease. The trainers are certified trainers for AML/CFT for Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (“DNFBPs”).
