Description

Participants in this course will learn the fundamentals of anti-money laundering measures that must be taken by organisations such as financial institutions, lawyers and other regulated entities.

What is money laundering is and how it is performed? Questions like this will be analysed within this course, and participants will learn how this phenomenon has been addressed over the years through standards set by international bodies and their subsequent adoption by legislators and regulators across the world.

The key principle of applying a risk based approach to money laundering will be the main focal point in this course. Delegates will discover how this is applied through different due diligence measures according to risk indicators and learn concepts such as Know Your Client (KYC) and Politically Exposed Persons (PEPS).

Presenters will address some of the challenges of identifying the ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) especially if the client is a large corporate structure. Further issues that will be discussed are the monitoring of clients’ activities and reporting of any suspicions with respect to money laundering. A final and very important matter that will be examined are penalties that are associated with laundering of illicit funds and how in some cases people who are non-perpetrators may also fall under criminal conviction.

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.
