CPD What's this?

Overview

Finance professionals providing their services perform a key role, acting as gatekeepers to the financial sector. These services can be exploited by criminals to launder the proceeds of their unlawful activity. As professionals working in a regulated sector, staff need to be able to recognise high risk business activities and be aware of the anti-money laundering regime, as failure to comply with legal and regulatory obligations can result in serious consequences for an organisation or an individual.

This course delivers an understanding of responsibilities under the Money Laundering Regulations 2017 and the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, with guidance on promoting an effective risk-based approach, ensuring compliance with staff obligations.

This course is aimed at finance professionals providing services as an auditor, external accountant, insolvency practitioner, tax adviser, and trust or company service provider.

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.
