Course Description
One of the most practical steps you can take to mitigate financial crime risks is to have a proper anti-money laundering or AML compliance program that can identify and report suspicious activity. Further, reporting suspicious activity potentially related to terrorism, terrorist financing, money laundering, and other financial crimes is also commonly a regulatory requirement in many countries around the world and punished with hefty fines with organizations failing to comply.
It is critical for law enforcement’s ability to utilize financial information to combat terrorism, terrorist financing, money laundering, and other financial crimes. A thorough and complete narrative makes the difference in determining whether described conduct and its possible criminal nature are clearly understood by law enforcement.
This certificate program is a training with four modules designed to give you a comprehensive overview of everything relevant to suspicious activity reports or SARs. Essentially, this helps better understand the SAR process and the post-submission environment. Under consideration that suspicious activity reporting forms the cornerstone of every organization’s AML-related reporting system, this course can also help you become more recognized as an AML expert in your organization and support your career by acquiring crucial skills and knowledge.
