WORKSHOPS

 

Workshop I

Building your AML Compliance Programme:

The 2010 Financial Obligations Regulations mandates all financial institutions and listed businesses to establish AML compliance programmes designed by adopting a risk-based approach to monitoring all financial products and services. The Supervisory Authorities have already mandated that all such compliance programmes be submitted for approval. This workshop has been designed to provide detailed guidance to financial institutions and listed businesses which have not as yet submitted their compliance programmes to the Supervisory Authorities and those whose compliance programmes have been returned for further action.

• Build an AML/CFT compliance programme that meets the requirements of the 2010 Financial Obligation Regulations
