Overview
Identifying suspicious transaction or activity red flags in banking transactions is not an easy thing to do. Yet, the statutory requirements relating to suspicious transaction reporting (STR) and recent developments in money laundering and terrorism financing (ML/TF) typologies and other aspects of financial crime risks are ever constantly evolving and changing. Keeping up with red flags identification and employing a systematic approach to analyse and mitigate ML/TF risks is an ongoing challenge for any financial service firm and their staff.
All financial services stakeholders have a part to play as guardians of the financial system to prevent it from being abused by money launders and criminals. Your role is crucial in helping your organisation to better manage financial crime risks and to be in compliant with rules and regulations. The programme you are about to study will enable you to increase your knowledge and understanding of these complex areas. You will develop skills in working with clients and your colleagues, and to sharpen your skills on what to look out for during transaction processing, identifying the red flags for suspicious transaction or activity and practicing good evidential and defensive documentation to enable you to better support your colleagues and firm.
This workshop is highly interactive, and you will be working through a complex case study complete with supporting artefacts, reflective of real-life scenarios.
