Anti-Money Laundering (Basics)

Two half-day online training sessions via Zoom

This is a part of the series of training workshops on Anti-Money Laundering/Countering Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) for people who are working in financial institutions.

These two half-day online sessions introduce an overview of the three stages of money laundering, customer due diligence, transaction monitoring, suspicious transaction reporting and the laws and regulations for AML/CFT.

This workshop aims to create an awareness of the common and emerging modus operandi exploited by money launderers; and how stakeholders of financial institutions can detect them. This is an interactive and quiz filled workshop.

Anti-Money Laundering (Intermediate)

Two half-day online training sessions via Zoom

These two half-day online sessions are the intermediate workshop of the series of training workshops on Anti-Money Laundering/Countering Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) for people who are working in financial institutions. It is an extension of the Basics of Anti-Money Laundering.

Participants of this workshop will gain hands-on experience through simulated case studies on customer risk assessment, customer due diligence, recognising/detecting money laundering transactions and their patterns, identifying sanctioned individuals/entities, reviewing of accounts, and deterring terror financing. This is an interactive and quiz filled workshop.

The Basics of Investigative Data Analytics

Four half-day online training sessions via Zoom

These four half-day online sessions cover a wide range of irregularities that may occur in financial institutions and other organisations such as operations errors, process inefficiencies, corruptions, tax evasion, money laundering, regulatory violations, non-compliances, and frauds. Leveraging on data analytics, these irregularities may be detected. If data analytics is performed periodically, frauds may even be detected before the culprits can take their loots.

The emphasis of this workshop is to recognise the data patterns of various kinds of customer behaviours, exercise our thought process on how to deal with each unique situation, and know where we can find the appropriate data to suit our needs.
