Overview

A key concern and significant risk for financial institutions is the possibility of unknowingly becoming complicit in money laundering, whereby illegitimate money is moved into legitimate institutions.

To mitigate such risk, financial institutions have strengthened their internal control systems by increasingly making use of Know Your Customer (KYC) and Customer Due Diligence (CDD) requirements as part of their anti-money laundering (AML) strategies.

Description

KYC/CDD is a critical element for effectively managing the risks posed by potential clients, thus protecting the organization against criminals, terrorists, and Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) who might present a higher risk, and possible dubious actions by existing customers that need to be regularly reassessed.

This course provides essential knowledge for KYC and CDD procedures, both key tools in assessing customer risk and a legal requirement to comply with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorist Financing (CFT) laws. Effective KYC/CDD involves knowing a customer’s identity and their financial activities, ongoing monitoring of business activities, and identifying and mitigating the AML/CFT risk a business relationship may pose on a regulated entity.

Course Content

  • An introduction to KYC/Customer Due Diligence (CDD)

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
