Benefits

It is a criminal offence for anyone employed in the financial services industry to fail to report where they have knowledge or suspicion (or even reasonable grounds for knowledge or suspicion) that another person is laundering the proceeds of any criminal conduct or is carrying out terrorist financing. By attending this course you will gain an enhanced understanding of the issues surrounding suspicious activity reporting and be able to apply this heightened awareness to improve the effectiveness of the risk management function within your organisation.
