AML Basics 2016 - AML Basics and Current Issues-By Compliance Global Inc

Overview:
Money laundering continues to be a national concern. High levels of drug-related activity and violence have drawn additional attention. Terrorist activities need to be considered as well.
Perpetrators have adapted to banks’ efforts so banks cannot combat it with their yesterday’s methods of anti-money laundering training. Software is widely installed to identify specific patterns and “unusual” transactions. But the fraudsters know this and are constantly striving to create new patterns where their transactions are designed not to be flagged. Like in a game of chess, the advantage goes to the side that thinks the most moves ahead.
Why Should You Attend:
AML training staff have a more difficult challenge than Anti-fraud training staff because anything the Fraud people miss will eventually be caught and can serve as lessons learned.
Formal training is far more important with AML requirements because, if money laundering transactions are missed, you will never know it happened and there is no on-the-job lessons learned as a result.
